Coreference in Universal Dependencies

ÚFAL
CorefUD

Coreference in Universal Dependencies (CorefUD) is an initiative to collect coreference corpora in various languages and harmonize them to the same scheme and data format (CoNLL-U).

We organized a CRAC 2024 Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution, which followed the previous editions of the shared task in 2023 and 2022.

If you want to learn more about the collection, please have a look at

Feel free to write us if you have any questions: Anna Nedoluzhko, Michal Novák, Martin Popel, Zdeněk Žabokrtský, and Daniel Zeman.
