Anaphora Resolution Using Extended Centering Algorithm In A Multi-Modal Dialogue System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anaphora in multi-modal dialogues have different aspects compared to the anaphora in language-only dialogues. They often refer to the items signified by a gesture or by visual means. In this paper, we define two kinds of anaphora: screen anaphora and referring anaphora, and propose two general methods to resolve these anaphora. One is a simple mapping algorithm that can find items refetxed with/without pointing gestures on a screen. The other is the centering algorithm with a dual cache model, which Walker's centering algorithm is extended to for a multi-modal dialogue system. The extended algorithm is appropriate to resolve various anaphora in a multi-modal dialogue .because it keeps utterances, visual information and screen switching,.tim.e. In the experiments, the system. Correctly resolved 384 anaphora out of 402 anaphom in 40 dialogues (0..54 anaphom per utterance) showing 95.5% correctness.

Pronominalization in Generated Discourse and Dialogue
Previous approaches to pronominalization have largely been theoretical rather than applied in nature. Frequently, such methods are based on Centering Theory, which deals with the resolution of anaphoric pronouns. But it is not clear that complex theoretical mechanisms, while having satisfying explanatory power, are necessary for the actual generation of pronouns. We first illustrate examples of...

The purpose of the paper is twofold. First, we revise the well-known Centering Theory of anaphora resolution and propose the Controlled Information Packaging Theory (CIPT, for short). Second, we suggest a solution to the resolution of the antecedents of pronouns within the framework of CIPT. For this purpose, we select a dialogue of hotel reservation as a domain-restricted discourse, and discus...

In this paper, we describe the creation of Chinese zero anaphora resolution rules by performing experiments. The rules were constructed based on the centering model. In the experiments, we selected several texts as testing examples. We compared the referents of zero anaphors in the testing texts identified by hand with the ones resolved by using an algorithm employing a resolution rule. Three r...
متن کاملZero Pronoun Resolution in Thai: A Centering Approach
Since pronouns can be dropped in Thai, a natural language processing system for Thai must be able to resolve referents of the missing pronouns. One of several approaches that have been used for reference resolution is Centering Theory. Centering Theory is a focusing process in which salience of discourse entities is being kept track of. Referents of pronouns or zero pronouns are usually entitie...
