Dataset Summary

This repository provides a standardized and reformatted version of the original litbank-fr coreference resolution dataset.

The purpose of this formatting is to provide a unified document structure across multiple coreference datasets in order to simplify:

cross-dataset comparison,
multilingual experimentation,
benchmarking of coreference resolution systems,
interoperability between NLP pipelines,
and reproducible evaluation settings.

This repository does not introduce new annotations or modify the original coreference annotations. It only restructures the original dataset into a shared schema used across our benchmarking framework.

Original Dataset

This formatted version is derived from the dataset introduced in:

Frédérique Mélanie-Becquet, Jean Barré, Olga Seminck, Clément Plancq, Marco Naguib, Martial Pastor and Thierry Poibeau. 2024. BookNLP-fr, the French Versant of BookNLP. A Tailored Pipeline for 19th and 20th Century French Literature.

Antoine Bourgois and Thierry Poibeau. 2025. The Elephant in the Coreference Room: Resolving Coreference in Full-Length French Fiction Works.
