Abstract
Automatic identification of coreference and the establishment of corresponding model is an essential part in course syllabus construction especially for the comprehensive Universities. In this type of tasks, the primary objective is to reveal as much information as possible about the course entities according to their names. However, it remains a difficulty to most of the latest algorithms since the references to courses are commonly in line with the specifications of each University. Thus, it is important to link the course entities with similar identities to the same entity name due to the contextual information. To resolve this issue, we put forward a graph neural network (GNN)-based pipeline which was designed for the characteristics of syllabus. It could provide both the similarity between each pair of course names and the structure of an entire syllabus. In order to measure the performance of presented approach, the comparative experiments were conducted between the most advanced techniques and the presented algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the suggested approach can achieve superior performance over other techniques and could be a potentially useful tool for the exact identification of the entities in the educational scenarios.
