Abstract

Pronoun resolution studies compute performance inconsistently and describe results incompletely. We propose a new reporting standard that improves the exposition of individual results and the possibility for readers to compare techniques across studies. We also propose an informative new performance metric, the resolution rate, for use in addition to precision and recall.
