Associative Anaphora Resolution: A Web-Based Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a novel approach to solving definite descriptions in unrestricted text based on searching the web for a particular type of lexico-syntactic patterns. Using statistics on these patterns, we intend to recover the antecedents for a predefined subset of definite descriptions occurring in two types of anaphoric relations: identity anaphora and associative anaphora. Preliminary results obtained with this method are promising and compare well with other methods.

Using the Web for Associative Anaphora Resolution

متن کاملA Probabilistic Model for Associative Anaphora Resolution
This paper proposes a probabilistic model for associative anaphora resolution in Japanese. Associative anaphora is a type of bridging anaphora, in which the anaphor and its antecedent are not coreferent. Our model regards associative anaphora as a kind of zero anaphora and resolves it in the same manner as zero anaphora resolution using automatically acquired lexical knowledge. Experimental res...
متن کاملImproving Definite Anaphora Resolution by Effective Weight Learning and Web-Based Knowledge Acquisition
In this paper, effective Chinese definite anaphora resolution is addressed by using feature weight learning and Web-based knowledge acquisition. The presented salience measurement is based on entropybased weighting on selecting antecedent candidates. The knowledge acquisition model is aimed to extract more semantic features, such as gender, number, and semantic compatibility by employing multip...
متن کاملA Discriminative Approach to Japanese Zero Anaphora Resolution with Large-scale Lexicalized Case Frames
We present a discriminative model for Japanese zero anaphora resolution that simultaneously determines an appropriate case frame for a given predicate and its predicate-argument structure. Our model is based on a log linear framework, and exploits lexical features obtained from a large raw corpus, as well as non-lexical features obtained from a relatively small annotated corpus. We report the r...
متن کاملMining a Corpus to Support Associative Anaphora Resolution
While work on pronominal anaphora resolution is well established, and there has been considerable work on definite noun phrase anaphora, associative anaphora—a phenomenon whereby an entity can be referred to by a definite referring expression without previously being mentioned in the text—has been much less investigated. In this paper, we describe work that aims to determine the appropriate ant...
