title: WEC: Deriving a Large-scale Cross-document Event Coreference dataset from Wikipedia
abstract: Cross-document event coreference resolution is a foundational task for NLP applications involving multi-text processing. However, existing corpora for this task are scarce and relatively small, while annotating only modestsize clusters of documents belonging to the same topic. To complement these resources and enhance future research, we present Wikipedia Event Coreference (WEC), an efficient methodology for gathering a largescale dataset for cross-document event coreference from Wikipedia, wher
