چکیده

This paper presents our findings on the feasibility of doing pronoun resolution for biomedical texts, in comparison with conducting pronoun resolution for the newswire domain. In our experiments, we built a simple machine learning-based pronoun resolution system, and evaluated the system on three different corpora: MUC, ACE, and GENIA. Comparative statistics not only reveal the noticeable issues in constructing an effective pronoun resolution system for a new domain, but also provides a comprehensive view of those corpora often used for this task.

Exploring Domain Differences for the Design of a Pronoun Resolution System for Biomedical Text

Much effort in the research community has been spent on solving the anaphora resolution or pronoun resolution problem, and in particular for news texts. In order to selectively inherit the previous works and solve the same problem for a new domain, we carried out a comparative study with three different corpora: MUC, ACE for the news texts, and GENIA for bio-medical papers. Our corpus analysis ...

Recognizing Anaphora Reference in Persian Sentences

Finding the reference of pronouns in a piece of text, which is a type of co-reference resolution, is an important task in discourse analysis and processing natural language texts.Pronoun reference is the noun that is replaced by the pronoun.In this paper, we propose a rule-based method for pronoun reference resolution in Persian texts. Our method exploits rules to recognize the reference of var...

An Expectation Maximization Approach to Pronoun Resolution

We propose an unsupervised Expectation Maximization approach to pronoun resolution. The system learns from a fixed list of potential antecedents for each pronoun. We show that unsupervised learning is possible in this context, as the performance of our system is comparable to supervised methods. Our results indicate that a probabilistic gender/number model, determined automatically from unlabel...

Reference Resolution in Context

This paper sketches an approach to pronoun reference resolution in context based on a dynamic incremental semantics for NL in polymorphic type theory. Our set-up provides full incrementality of processing, and can handle salience and pronoun resolution in context. An implementation of the system in Haskell, in ‘literate programming’ style, exists. The full literate source code can be found at h...

Antelogue: Pronoun Resolution for Text and Dialogue

Antelogue is a pronoun resolution prototype designed to be released as off-the-shelf software to be used autonomously or integrated with larger anaphora resolution or other NLP systems. It has modules to handle pronouns in both text and dialogue. In Antelogue, the problem of pronoun resolution is addressed as a two-step process: a) acquiring information about properties of words and the entitie...
