  1. A Model-Theoretic Coreference Scoring Scheme (1995 · 1,056 citations)
    The paper defines the scoring metric used for the coreference task of MUC-6, now known as the MUC metric. Coreference chains are viewed as equivalence classes, and scoring counts links rather than individual pairwise decisions. Recall for a key chain is the number of links needed to connect it minus the number of…
