## Coreference {#coref-architectures tag="experimental"}

A [`CoreferenceResolver`](/api/coref) component identifies tokens that refer to
the same entity. A [`SpanResolver`](/api/span-resolver) component infers spans
from single tokens. Together these components can be used to reproduce
traditional coreference models. You can also omit the `SpanResolver` if working
with only token-level clusters is acceptable.
