Chinese Common Noun Phrase Resolution: An Unsupervised Probabilistic Model Rivaling Supervised Resolvers

چکیده
Pronoun resolution and common noun phrase resolution are the two most challenging subtasks of coreference resolution. While a lot of work has focused on pronoun resolution, common noun phrase resolution has almost always been tackled in the context of the larger coreference resolution task. In fact, to our knowledge, there has been no attempt to address Chinese common noun phrase resolution as a standalone task. In this paper, we propose a generative model for unsupervised Chinese common noun phrase resolution that not only allows easy incorporation of linguistic constraints on coreference but also performs joint resolution and anaphoricity determination. When evaluated on the Chinese portion of the OntoNotes 5.0 corpus, our model rivals its supervised counterpart in performance.

Chinese Event Coreference Resolution: An Unsupervised Probabilistic Model Rivaling Supervised Resolvers
Recent work has successfully leveraged the semantic information extracted from lexical knowledge bases such as WordNet and FrameNet to improve English event coreference resolvers. The lack of comparable resources in other languages, however, has made the design of high-performance non-English event coreference resolvers, particularly those employing unsupervised models, very difficult. We propo...
متن کاملChinese Zero Pronoun Resolution: An Unsupervised Probabilistic Model Rivaling Supervised Resolvers
State-of-the-art Chinese zero pronoun resolution systems are supervised, thus relying on training data containing manually resolved zero pronouns. To eliminate the reliance on annotated data, we present a generative model for unsupervised Chinese zero pronoun resolution. At the core of our model is a novel hypothesis: a probabilistic pronoun resolver trained on overt pronouns in an unsupervised...
متن کاملChinese Zero Pronoun Resolution: A Joint Unsupervised Discourse-Aware Model Rivaling State-of-the-Art Resolvers
We propose an unsupervised probabilistic model for zero pronoun resolution. To our knowledge, this is the first such model that (1) is trained on zero pronouns in an unsupervised manner; (2) jointly identifies and resolves anaphoric zero pronouns; and (3) exploits discourse information provided by a salience model. Experiments demonstrate that our unsupervised model significantly outperforms it...
متن کاملA Clustering Approach for Unsupervised Chinese Coreference Resolution
Coreference resolution is the process of identifying expressions that refer to the same entity. This paper presents a clustering algorithm for unsupervised Chinese coreference resolution. We investigate why Chinese coreference is hard and demonstrate that techniques used in coreference resolution for English can be extended to Chinese. The proposed system exploits clustering as it has advantage...
متن کاملChinese Noun Phrase Coreference Resolution: Insights into the State of the Art
Compared to the amount of research on English coreference resolution, relatively little work has been done on Chinese coreference resolution. Worse still, it has been difficult to determine the state of the art in Chinese coreference resolution, owing in part to the lack of a standard evaluation dataset. The organizers of the CoNLL-2012 shared task, Modeling Unrestricted Multilingual Coreferenc...
