Papers

1. Fantastic Questions and Where to Find Them: FairytaleQA – An Authentic Dataset for Narrative Comprehension (2022)
   FairytaleQA is a question-answering dataset for narrative comprehension aimed at the reading level of kindergarten to eighth-grade children.
2. Bridging Anaphora Resolution as Question Answering (2020)
   The paper treats bridging anaphora resolution as question answering. Each anaphor is rephrased as a question such as "residents of what?" from its head and premodifiers, and a BERT-based span model (BARQA) finds the antecedent in the preceding context. The model needs no gold mentions. The authors also generate about…
3. Fine-grained Information Status Classification Using Discourse Context-Aware BERT (2020)
   Information status (IS) says how accessible a mention's referent is: old (mentioned before), new, or mediated — not mentioned but accessible through world knowledge (mostly proper names), syntax (their father, a noun linked to an old mention), coordination (aggregate), a rise/fall function value, comparison (further…
4. Unrestricted Bridging Resolution (2018)
   The article presents ISNotes (50 Wall Street Journal texts, OntoNotes part) annotated for fine-grained information status — new, old, mediated subtypes (world knowledge, syntactic, comparative, function, aggregate) and bridging — with 663 bridging anaphors, and a two-stage system for bridging with no restriction on…
5. Global Inference for Bridging Anaphora Resolution (2013)
   The paper addresses antecedent selection for bridging anaphora with no limits on anaphor or relation types.
