Summary
PhEye detects entity spans but does not link them. For example, "Dr. Smith" and "John Smith" in the same document are treated as independent detections with no indication they refer to the same entity.
Proposal
Add co-reference resolution:
- Cluster mentions that refer to the same real-world entity within a document
- Assign a stable entity ID to each cluster
- Expose clusters in the API response alongside span detections
This enables consistent pseudonymization downstream and improves redaction completeness.
