CorefUD is a collection of previously existing datasets annotated with coreference, which we converted into a common annotation scheme. In total, CorefUD in its current version 0.1 consists of 17 datasets for 11 languages.
The datasets are enriched with automatic morphological and syntactic annotations that are fully compliant with the standards of the Universal Dependencies project. All the datasets are stored in the CoNLL-U format, with coreference- and bridging-specific information captured by attribute-value pairs located in the MISC column.
The collection is divided into a public edition and a non-public (ÚFAL-internal) edition. The publicly available edition is distributed via LINDAT-CLARIAH-CZ and contains 13 datasets for 10 languages (1 dataset for Catalan, 2 for Czech, 2 for English, 1 for French, 2 for German, 1 for Hungarian, 1 for Lithuanian, 1 for Polish, 1 for Russian, and 1 for Spanish), excluding the test data.
The non-public edition is available internally to ÚFAL members and contains additional 4 datasets for 2 languages (1 dataset for Dutch, and 3 for English), which we are not allowed to distribute due to their original license limitations. It also contains the test data portions for all datasets.
When using any of the harmonized datasets, please get acquainted with its license (placed in the same directory as the data) and cite the original data resource too.

Version 0.2 consists of exactly the same datasets as the version 0.1. All automatically parsed datasets were re-parsed for v0.2 using UDPipe 2 with models trained on UD 2.6. Catalan-AnCora, Spanish-AnCora and English-GUM have been updated to match the their UD 2.9 versions.

Version 1.0 consists of the same corpora and languages as the previous version 0.2; however, the English GUM dataset has been updated to a newer and larger version, and in the Czech/English PCEDT dataset, the train-dev-test split has been changed to be compatible with OntoNotes. Nevertheless, the main change is in the file format (the MISC attributes have new form and interpretation).

Compared to the previous version 1.1, the version 1.2 comprises new languages and corpora, namely Ancient_Greek-PROIEL, Ancient_Hebrew-PTNK, English-LitBank, and Old_Church_Slavonic-PROIEL. In addition, English-GUM and Turkish-ITCC have been updated to newer versions, conversion of zeros in Polish-PCC has been improved, and the conversion pipelines for multiple other datasets have been refined (a list of all changes in each dataset can be found in the corresponding README file).
The `corpipe23-corefud1.1-231206` is a `mT5-large`-based multilingual model for coreference resolution usable in CorPipe 23 (https://github.com/ufal/crac2023-corpipe). It is released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
The model is language agnostic (no _corpus id_ on input), so it can be used to predict coreference in any `mT5` language (for zero-shot evaluation, see the paper). However, note that the empty nodes must be present already on input, they are not predicted (the same settings as in the CRAC23 shared task).
Corpus of texts in 12 languages. For each language, we provide one training, one development and one testing set acquired from Wikipedia articles. Moreover, each language dataset contains (substantially larger) training set collected from (general) Web texts. All sets, except for Wikipedia and Web training sets that can contain similar sentences, are disjoint. Data are segmented into sentences which are further word tokenized.
All data in the corpus contain diacritics. To strip diacritics from them, use Python script diacritization_stripping.py contained within attached stripping_diacritics.zip. This script has two modes. We generally recommend using method called uninames, which for some languages behaves better.
The code for training recurrent neural-network based model for diacritics restoration is located at https://github.com/arahusky/diacritics_restoration.
