Coreference

Coreference occurs when different words or phrases in a sentence refer to the same person, place, or thing. For example, in the sentence "Jane said she was happy," "Jane" and "she" both refer to the same individual. Recognizing coreference helps systems understand that multiple references point to the same entity, improving comprehension and communication. It's an important concept in natural language processing that enables more accurate interpretation of texts by linking related words and avoiding confusion.
