Detecting Anaphoricity and Antecedenthood for Coreference Resolution Detección de la anaforicidad y de los antecedentes para la resolución de la correferencia

Most coreference resolution (CR) systems try to resolve all “candidate anaphors” by comparing them to all preceding “candidate antecedents” until the correct one is found. In this study we investigate possibilities to identify unlikely anaphors and antecedents. We evaluate our approach on the MUC-7 corpus.

Using a Generative Lexicon Resource to Compute Bridging Anaphora in Italian.∗ Utilización de un recurso de léxico generativo para calcular Anáfora asociativas en Italiano

The results obtained, though not very satisfying, seem to support the use of such a resource with respect to WordNet-like ones due to the wider range of bridging anaphors which can be treated.

We do this by (i) demonstrating their behavioral similarity with more common anaphors (pronouns and definite NPs); (ii) presenting a general framework for understanding anaphora into which they nicely fit; (ii...

Event anaphors – a unified account ?

This paper is concerned with different types of event anaphors in English and to some extent also in Swedish. The point of departure is the seminal work of Hankamer and Sag (1976) where two major classes of anaphors are suggested, namely surface anaphors and deep anaphors. An important distinction is that surface anaphors, such as the VP-ellipsis, demand a linguistically realized antecedent, wh...
