Current Activities
I chaired the organization of CoNLL-2012 Shared Task on Modeling Multilingual Unrestricted Coreference in OntoNotes. It was also received quite well. There were a total of 16 participants from 6 countries. We provided participants with gold standard and predicted information on almost all the layers of OntoNotes in all three languages — English, Chinese and Arabic, except coreference, and the task was to identify corefering mentions and cluster them into entities. CoNLL-2012 was colocated with ACL/EMNLP-2012 in Jeju, Korea.
Past Activities
I chaired the organization of CoNLL-2011 Shared Task on Modeling Unrestricted Coreference in OntoNotes. It was received quite well. There were a total of 23 participants from 11 countries. We provided participants with gold standard and predicted information on all the layers of OntoNotes except coreference, and the task was to identify corefering mentions and cluster them into entities. CoNLL-2011 was colocated with ACL/HLT-2011 in Portland.
I co-chaired 2011 Lingustic Annotation Workshop which was also collocated with ACL in Portland.
