Abstract

It is crucial for many applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to recognize correfering events and entities that describe the same events in the real world. Despite this being an important task, the current research has mainly focused on text with very little attention towards other information sources, such as images. Consequently, we propose a neural architecture based on multimodal for Event Coreference Resolution (ECR), combining text features, image features, and text event graph features to identify coreference events. The experimental results demonstrate an average F1 score of 61.2%, which is an improvement on the previous event coreference model using a single text modality.
