Resolving Portuguese Nominal Anaphora

چکیده
This paper presents two approaches to Portuguese anaphor resolution, one based on a morpho-syntactic information and other on semantic features. We present a corpus based evaluation, focusing especially on anaphoric definite descriptions, which includes direct, indirect and associative anaphors.

Using Word Similarity Lists For Resolving Indirect Anaphora
In this work we test the use of word similarity lists for anaphora resolution in Portuguese corpora. We applied an automatic lexical acquisition technique over parsed texts to identify semantically similar words. After that, we made use of this lexical knowledge to resolve coreferent definite descriptions where the head-noun of the anaphor is different from the head-noun of its antecedent, whic...
متن کاملUsing the Web for Nominal Anaphora Resolution
We present a novel method for resolving non-pronominal anaphora. Instead of using handcrafted lexical resources, we search the Web with shallow patterns which can be predetermined for the type of anaphoric phenomenon. In experiments for other-anaphora and bridging, our shallow, almost knowledge-free and unsupervised method achieves state-ofthe-art results.
متن کاملResolving "This-issue" Anaphora
We annotate and resolve a particular case of abstract anaphora, namely, thisissue anaphora. We propose a candidate ranking model for this-issue anaphora resolution that explores different issuespecific and general abstract-anaphora features. The model is not restricted to nominal or verbal antecedents; rather, it is able to identify antecedents that are arbitrary spans of text. Our results show...
متن کاملA Mention-Ranking Model for Abstract Anaphora Resolution
Resolving abstract anaphora is an important, but difficult task for text understanding. Yet, with recent advances in representation learning this task becomes a more tangible aim. A central property of abstract anaphora is that it establishes a relation between the anaphor embedded in the anaphoric sentence and its (typically non-nominal) antecedent. We propose a mention-ranking model that lear...
متن کاملAnaphora Resolution for Biomedical Literature by Exploiting Multiple Resources
In this paper, a resolution system is presented to tackle nominal and pronominal anaphora in biomedical literature by using rich set of syntactic and semantic features. Unlike previous researches, the verification of semantic association between anaphors and their antecedents is facilitated by exploiting more outer resources, including UMLS, WordNet, GENIA Corpus 3.02p and PubMed. Moreover, the...
