Why we included this project

Coreference resolution is the step where a parser figures out that "she" in one sentence points back to a name mentioned earlier. NeuralCoref handles that inside spaCy, as a pipeline extension, so you add it once and then every parsed document carries the resolved coreference clusters. That fits naturally into chatbots, question-answering, and other text-processing systems already built on spaCy, because the annotations stay on the same Document objects you're already working with. It uses a feed-forward neural network to score candidate mention pairs, building on spaCy's existing annotations for mention detection. The main limitation is that the shipped model is pre-trained for English only; other languages need retraining.
