        abstract = {We present a novel hierarchical distance-dependent Bayesian
model for event coreference resolution. While existing generative models for
event coreference resolution are completely unsupervised, our model allows
for the incorporation of pairwise distances between event mentions —
information that is widely used in supervised coreference models to guide
the generative clustering processing for better event clustering both within
and across documents. We model the distances between event mentions using a
feature-rich learnable distance function and encode them as Bayesian priors
for nonparametric clustering. Experiments on the ECB+ corpus show that our
model outperforms state-of-the-art methods for both within- and
cross-document event coreference resolution.},
