- In linguistics, coreference occurs when multiple expressions in a sentence or document have the same referent.
- For example, in the sentence "You said you would help me", the two instances of the word you are most likely referring to the same person or group, in which case they are coreferent. Similarly, in "I saw Scott yesterday. He was fishing by the lake," Scott and he are most likely coreferent.
- In computational linguistics, coreference resolution is a well-studied problem in discourse.

- Coreference resolution is the process in which we identify the noun phrases that are referring to a same real-world entity (Ng, 2008). In this context, such noun phrases are called mentions, or just anaphoric noun phrases. Mentions can be either named, nominal or pronominal (Luo, 2007). For example, table 1 illustrates an example of mentions of the entity “Joe Smith” (Lin, 2008).
