This task aims to evaluate and compare automatic coreference resolution systems for three different languages (Catalan, English, and Spanish) by means of two alternative evaluation metrics, thus providing an insight into (i) the portability of coreference resolution systems across languages, and (ii) the effect of different scoring metrics on ranking the output of the participant systems.

NewsReader is a generic unsupervised text processing system that detects events with participants, time and place to generate Event Centric Knowledge Graphs (ECKGs). We minimally adapted these ECKGs to establish a baseline performance for the task. We first use the ECKGs to establish which documents report on the same incident and what event mentions are coreferential. Next, we aggregate ECKGs across coreferential mentions and use the aggregated knowledge to answer the questions of the task. Our participation tests the quality of News-Reader to create ECKGs, as well as the potential of ECKGs to establish event identity and reason over the result to answer the task queries.

The EuroWordNet database stores wordnets as autonomous language-specific structures that are interconnected via an Inter-Lingual-Index (ILI). In this paper, we discuss the possibilities to create mappings from each wordnet to the central ILI and how the ILI itself can be adapted to provide more overlap across the wordnets. We will argue that the ILI can be condensed to a more universal index of meaning, while the wordnets can still encode any fine-grained lexicalizations for each language.
