We found that LLMs show exceptional ability in understanding coreference. However, harnessing this ability to achieve state of the art results on traditional datasets and benchmarks isn`t straightforward. Given these findings, we propose that future efforts should: (1) Improve the scope, data, and evaluation methods of traditional coreference research to adapt to the development of LLMs. (2) Enhance the fine-grained language understanding capabilities of LLMs."
