Can Semantic Relation extraction help Anaphora Resolution? (technical report available at http://clic.cimec.unitn.it/fabio

This paper address the problem of which semantic relations are found in coreference chains and which ones can help improving the proformance of anaphora resolution. A list of 27 semantic relations is proposed here and a small dataset has been manually annotated with them.
