Using Discourse Predictions for Ambiguity Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss how we allply discourse predictions along with non context-based predictions to the problem of parse disambiguation in Enthusiast, a Spanish-to-English translation system (Woszcyna et al., 1993; Snhm et al., 1994; Levin el; al., 1995). We discuss extensions to our plan-based discourse processor in order to make this possible. We evaluate those extensions and demonstrate the advantage of exploiting context-based predictions over a purely non context-based approach.

Semantic Priming Effect on Relative Clause Attachment Ambiguity Resolution in L2
This study examined whether processing ambiguous sentences containing relative clauses (RCs) following a complex determiner phrase (DP) by Persian-speaking learners of L2 English with different proficiency and working memory capacities (WMCs) is affected by semantic priming. The semantic relationship studied was one between the subject/verb of the main clause and one of the DPs in the complex D...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Regularization Algorithm to Decorrelation of Covariance Matrix of Float Ambiguity in Fast Resolution of GPS Ambiguity Parameters
Precise positioning in Real Time Kinematic (RTK) applications depends on the accurate resolution of the phase ambiguities. In RTK positioning, ambiguity parameters are highly correlated, especially when the positioning rate is high. Consequently, application of de-correlation techniques for the accurate resolution of ambiguities is inevitable. Phase ambiguity as positioning observations by the ...
متن کاملSemantic Ambiguity Effects in Lexical Processing: A Neural-Network Account Based on Semantic Settling Dynamics
The meanings of most words depend on the context in which they occur (e.g., vs. BANK). Developing a theory of how comprehension of semantically ambiguous words are understood is a critical aspect of any theory of word or discourse comprehension. However, success to date has been limited by discrepancies in the effects of relatedness of meaning observed within and between tasks. ...
متن کاملSidestepping Garden Paths: Assessing the Contributions of Syntax, Semantics and Plausibility in Resolving Ambiguities*
A central issue in the study of sentence processing is the manner in which various sources of information are used in resolving structural ambiguities. According to one proposal, the garden path model (e.g., Frazier & Rayner, 1982), perceivers are initially guided by strategies based solely on the structural properties of sentences. Another class of models, constraint satisfaction mod~ls, empha...
متن کاملAn Integrated Model For Anaphora Resolution
The paper discusses a new knowledgebased and sublanguage-oriented model for anaphora resolution, which integrates syntactic, semantic, discourse, domain and heuristical knowledge for the sublanguage of computer science. Special attention is paid to a new approach for tracking the center throughout a discourse segment, which plays an imtx~rtant role in proposing the most likely antecedent to the...
