Coreference resolution plays a crucial role in natural language processing by enabling accurate understanding of a text and identifying its semantic structure. While effective Coreference resolution systems have been developed for resource-rich languages such as English, German, and Chinese, research and practical systems in this area remain insufficient for the Uzbek language. Uzbek differs significantly from other languages due to its agglutinative structure, flexible word order, and rich morphology. These linguistic features necessitate unique approaches and models for Coreference resolution. This article discusses the Uzbek-language Coreference resolution system – UzCoref – highlighting its functional capabilities, system architecture, data flow, underlying model, testing process, comparative analysis with other systems, and the advantages of UzCoref.
