<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The workshop's website is available under: </span><a href="http://cl.indiana.edu/~zhekova/amcr13" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px" target="_blank">http://cl.indiana.edu/~zhekova/amcr13</a><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">In the last couple of years, the interest in the area of Multilingual Coreference Resolution (MCR) has increased immensely. Two shared tasks (SemEval-2 Shared Task 1: Coreference Resolution in Multiple Languages in 2010 and the CoNLL Shared Task: Modeling Multilingual Unrestricted Coreference in OntoNotes in 2012) have set an excellent benchmark by releasing datasets for 8 different languages (SemEval: Catalan, Dutch, English, German, Italian and Spanish; CoNLL: Arabic, Chinese and English). Moreover, a wide range of multilingual systems have been developed within the framework of the tasks. We see a necessity for future research on the topic of MCR. The lack of existing workshops on the topic motivates our attempt to provide a possibility for the researchers interested specifically on multilinguality with respect to Coreference Resolution to present their work and results.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The 1st International Workshop on Advances in Multilingual Coreference Resolution (AMCR 2013) workshop will welcome both theoretical and applied computational work regarding MCR. The submissions are expected to discuss theories, applications, evaluation, limitations, system development and techniques relevant to the AMCR topics. Papers that critically evaluate approaches or existing strategies will be especially welcome, as will new and innovative MCR system implementations. There will be a decisive focus on multilinguality for this workshop. Thus, submitted papers should cover at least one language other than English, preferably more.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
