According to one aspect, a method for coreference resolution is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a segment of text that includes mentions corresponding to entities. A first feature vector is generated based on one or more features associated with a first mention, and a second feature vector is generated based on based on one or more features associated with a second mention. A measure of similarity between the first feature vector and second feature vector is computed and, based on the computed measure of similarity, it is determined if the first mention and the second mention both correspond to the same entity.
