## F-Coref: Fast, Accurate and Easy to Use Coreference Resolution
[F-Coref](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.04280) allows to process 2.8K OntoNotes documents in 25 seconds on a V100 GPU (compared to 6 minutes for the [LingMess](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.12644) model, and to 12 minutes of the popular AllenNLP coreference model) with only a modest drop in accuracy.
The fast speed is achieved through a combination of distillation of a compact model from the LingMess model, and an efficient batching implementation using a technique we call leftover
Please check the [official repository](https://github.com/shon-otmazgin/fastcoref) for more details and updates.
