[Corpora-List] BART coreference resolver: v2.0 released

[Olga Uryupina]

Dear CorporaList members,

BART (Beautiful Anaphora Resolution Toolkit) version 2.0 has been
released. This new version of the BART toolkit for developing anaphora
resolution systems is much improved over the previous semi-official
version released in 2008. Please visit the BART website to get the
latest version:

www.bart-anaphora.org

Please note the new name of our website! Unfortunately, the old
website (bart-coref.org) has been taken over by a third party, so
please remove it from your bookmarks.

More on BART:

BART, the Beautiful Anaphora Resolution Toolkit, was initially
developed during the project Exploiting Lexical and Encyclopedic
Resources For Entity Disambiguation at the Johns Hopkins Summer
Workshop 2007, but has since been constantly revised. BART performs
automatic coreference resolution (Multilingual), including all
necessary preprocessing steps to operate on the raw text input (for
English only). BART incorporates a variety of machine learning
approaches and can use several machine learning toolkits, including
WEKA and an included MaxEnt implementation. BART has shown a
state-of-the-art performance at recent evaluation campaigns
(SemEval-2010 Task 1, CoNLL-2011, CoNLL-2012)

BART is an open-source java toolkit and runs on Linux, MacOS and Windows.

What's new in the second release:

- 2 models for the out-of-the-box coreference for English (trained on OntoNotes)
- Generic Language Plugin supports coreference resolution in your
favourite language
- Italian and German Language Plugins
- More features
- More Preprocessing Pipelines
- Tabular import/export format
- Presets for straightforward testing
- Bugs fixed
