Systems and methods for scalable hierarchical coreference

摘要

A scalable hierarchical coreference method that employs a homomorphic compression scheme that supports addition and partial subtraction to more efficiently represent the data and the evolving intermediate results of probabilistic inference. The method may encode the features underlying conditional random field models of coreference resolution so that cosine similarities can be efficiently computed. The method may be applied to compressing features and intermediate inference results for conditional random fields. The method may allow compressed representations to be added and subtracted in a way that preserves the cosine similarities.
