Comparing Knowledge Sources for Nominal Anaphora Resolution
We compare two ways of obtaining lexical knowledge for antecedent selection in other-anaphora and definite noun phrase coreference. Specifically, we compare an algorithm that relies on links encoded in the manually created lexical hierarchy WordNet and an algorithm that mines corpora by means of shallow lexico-semantic patterns. As corpora we use the British National Corpus (BNC), as well as th...
متن کاملComparative Correlatives as Anaphora to Differentials
The two goals of this paper are (i) to establish that there are comparative correlatives that are not comparative conditionals and that the semantics of such correlatives crucially involves a relation (possibly the identity relation) between differentials (against much of the previous literature, e.g., McCawley 1988, Beck 1997) and (ii) to argue that a unified analysis should be given for such ...

متن کاملComparing Domain-Specific and Non-Domain-Specific Anaphora Resolution Techniques
A quantification is provided for the improvements made in traditional salience-based pronominal anaphora resolution precision when input text that has been parsed using a large scale grammar to locate syntactic function of noun phrases, is used instead of input text where more shallow syntactic analysis techniques were used for identifying grammatical function. In addition, domain-specific tech...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach for Comparing and Reusing Design Alternatives
This work introduces an approach to mine field-tested design solutions when defining the architecture of a new product line. The design comparison approach (DCA) compares design solution alternatives implemented in existing systems and evaluates their advantages and drawbacks. This explicit comparison and analysis enables the development of high quality product line architectures by incorporati...
