Resolving and Generating Definite Anaphora by Modeling Hypernymy using Unlabeled Corpora
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate an original and successful approach for both resolving and generating definite anaphora. We propose and evaluate unsupervised models for extracting hypernym relations by mining cooccurrence data of definite NPs and potential antecedents in an unlabeled corpus. The algorithm outperforms a standard WordNet-based approach to resolving and generating definite anaphora. It also substantially outperforms recent related work using pattern-based extraction of such hypernym relations for coreference resolution.

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 کاملComparing Knowledge Sources for Nominal Anaphora Resolution
We compare two ways of obtaining lexical knowledge for antecedent selection in other-anaphora and definite noun phrase coreference. Specifically, we compare an algorithm that relies on links encoded in the manually created lexical hierarchy WordNet and an algorithm that mines corpora by means of shallow lexico-semantic patterns. As corpora we use the British National Corpus (BNC), as well as th...
متن کاملAnaphora Resolution for Off-line Answer Extraction using Instances
We investigate to what extent it helps to use an automatically generated instance list for resolving anaphoric definite NPs within the framework of an off-line answer extraction system. We compare three extraction methods. First, we looked at the extraction method that uses no anaphora resolution. Secondly, we determined the precision of the facts acquired by using instances for anaphora resolu...
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...
متن کاملResolving Abstract Definite Anaphora in Chinese Texts
Anaphora is a rhetorical device commonly used in written texts. It denotes the use of terms referring to previously-mentioned entities, concepts, or events. In this paper, the definite anaphora in Chinese texts is addressed and empirical approaches to tackle abstract anaphors are presented. The resolution is built on the association between target anaphors and the corresponding referents in the...
