Abstract
A method and a system for coreference resolution are provided. The method includes receiving a set of document clusters, each cluster in the set of document clusters including a set of text documents. Instances of each of a set of candidate named entities are identified in the document clusters. For a pairs of the candidate named entities, at least one socio-temporal feature is computed that is based on the similarity of the distributions of identified instances of the respective candidate name entities among the document clusters. A decision for merging for the candidate named entities into a common real named entity is based on the socio-temporal features.
