Constraints and Defaults on Zero Pronouns in Japanese Instruction Manuals
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a method for anaphora resolution of zero subjects in Japanese manual sentences based on both the nature of language expressions and the ontology of ordinary instruction manuals. In instruction manuals written in Japanese, zero subjects often introduce ambiguity into sentences. In order to resolve them, we consider the property of several types of expressions including some forms of verbal phrases and some conjunctives of clauses, and so on. As the result, we have a set of constraints and defaults for zero subject resolution. We examine the precision of the constraints and defaults with real manual sentences, and we have the result that they make a good estimate with precision of over 80%.

متن کاملResolution of Zero Pronouns in Japanese instruction Manuals and its Application
This paper describes a method of the zero pronouns resolution and shows the application of the method for estimating zero pronouns. In our related works, we have obtained the method of zero pronouns resolution which uses pragmatic properties of Japanese conditionals. We built a system based on our method. With our system, we examine Japanese manual sentences, and we con rmed that the method wor...

متن کاملExtrasentential Resolution of Japanese Zero Pronouns Using Semantic and Pragmatic Constraints
This paper proposes a method to resolve Japanese zero pronouns with extrasentential reference which can be realized in a practical machine translation system. This method focuses on semantic and pragmatic constraints such as modal expressions, verbal semantic attributes and conjunctions to determine the extrasentential referents of Japanese zero pronouns. According to a window test, 100% of zer...
متن کاملIntrasentential Resolution of Japanese Zero Pronouns in a Machine Translation System using Semantic and Pragmatic Constraints
This paper proposes a method to resolve intrasentential references of Japanese zero pronouns suitable for application in widely applicable and practical machine translation systems. It is highly effective because the volume of knowledge that must be prepared beforehand is not so large and its accuracy is good. This method focuses on semantic and pragmatic constraints such as conjunctions, verba...
