2. Coref./Ref. Bar: References track the frequency with which we observe a given entity through our corpus of news articles. Coreferences track the frequencies with which two given entities appear together in news articles. The length of orange bar is a function of the entity references while the length of the blue bar is a function of entity coreferences. A higher ratio of blue implies a stronger relationship between the two entities.
Thebar links to a page where the articles that reference both entities are displayed.
