Resolving Discourse Deictic Anaphora in Dialogues

چکیده
Most existing anaphora resolution algorithms are designed to account only for anaphors with NP-antecedents. This paper describes an algorithm for the resolution of discourse deictic anaphors, which constitute a large percentage of anaphors in spoken dialogues. The success of the resolution is dependent on the classification of all pronouns and demonstratives into individual, discourse deictic and vague anaphora. Finally, the empirical results of the application of the algorithm to a corpus of spoken dialogues are presented.

Resolving Discourse Deictic Anaphors in Tutorial Dialogues
Most of the anaphoric resolution algorithms developed so far focus on anaphors with NP antecedents, be it inter-sentential or intrasentential. The main focus of this paper is to resolve various other types of anaphors such as discourse deictic anaphors found in computermediated tutorial dialogues on physics. We do this first through a corpus-based study of physics tutoring dialogues. Our approa...
متن کاملDialogue Acts, Synchronising Units and Anaphora Resolution
We present a method for classifying and resolving anaphora in spoken dialogue which relies crucially on the concept of dialogue acts. Our segmentation is influenced by (Clark & Schaefer, 1989) and (Carletta et al., 1997) and shows a high degree of inter-coder reliability. In our model, which is based on (Strube, 1998), the domain from which potential antecedents for both individual and discours...
متن کاملA Machine Learning Approach to Anaphora Resolution in Dialogue based Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Anaphora resolution is a central topic in dialogue and discourse that deals with finding the referent of a pronoun. It plays a critical role in conversational Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) as it can increase the accuracy of assessing students’ mental model based on their natural language inputs. Although the task of anaphora resolution is one of the most studied problems in Natural Langua...
متن کاملAnaphora Resolution in Multi-Person Dialogues
Anaphora resolution for dialogues is a difficult problem because of the several kinds of complex anaphoric references generally present in dialogic discourses. It is nevertheless a critical first step in the processing of any such discourse. In this paper, we describe a system for anaphora resolution in multi-person dialogues. This system aims to bring together a wide array syntactic, semantic ...
متن کاملResolving Individual and Abstract Anaphora in Texts and Dialogues
This paper describes an extension of the dar-algorithm (Navarretta, 2004) for resolving intersentential pronominal anaphors referring to individual and abstract entities in texts and dialogues. In dar individual entities are resolved combining models which identify high degree of salience with high degree of givenness (topicality) of entities in the hearer’s cognitive model, e.g. (Grosz et al.,...
