A Computational Approach for Analyzing Inter-sentential Anaphoric Pronouns in Vietnamese Paragraphs

چکیده
This paper presents a strategy and a computational model for solving inter-sentential anaphoric pronouns in Vietnamese paragraphs composing simple sentences. The strategy is proposed based on grammatical features of nouns and the focus phenomenon when using pronouns in Vietnamese. In this research, we consider only nouns and pronouns which are human objects in the paragraph, and each anaphoric pronoun will appear one time in one sentence and can appear in adjacent sentences. The computational model is implemented in Prolog and based on applying and improving the models of Mark Johnson and Ewan Klein, had been improved by Covington and Schmitz, with theoretical background of Discourse Representation Theory.Analysis of test results shows that this approach which based on linguistic theories helps for well solving inter-sentential anaphoric pronouns in Vietnamese paragraphs.

The Solution for Resolving Inter-sentential Anaphoric Pronoun “nó” in Vietnamese Paragraphs Composing 3 to 5 Simple Sentences
This paper presents a solution for resolving inter-sentential anaphoric pronoun “nó” in Vietnamese paragraphs composing 3 to 5 simple sentences. In Vietnamese, “nó” is a special pronoun, can be used to indicate human, animal or non-animate object depending on the content and context of the paragraph (so in English, we should use “he”, “she” or “it”) . The proposed solution consists of some find...
متن کاملAn approach for summarization of two-sentences Vietnamese paragraph
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a general approach for summarizing the meaning of Vietnamese paragraphs based on simple two-sentences. The studied objects are paragraphs having the common characteristics: the first sentence has one or two nouns indicating human objects; the second sentence has one or two anaphoric pronouns. We only consider two types of Vietnamese human pronouns in th...
متن کاملNon-Singular Concepts in Natural Language Discourse
We introduce a new approach to representing and manipulating various types of non-singular concepts in natural language discourse. The representation we describe is based on a partially ordered structure of levels in which the objects of the same relative singularity are assigned to the same level. Our choice of the representation has been motivated by the following main concerns: I. The repres...
متن کاملRepresentation and Information in Dynamic Semantics
Among the variety of phenomena that have been the subject of study within dynamic semantics, the phenomenon of inter-sentential anaphora probably has received most attention. Traditionally, pronouns have been associated with (syntactically free, but semantically somehow bound) variables. Put in a nutshell, the semantic relationships between pronouns and their antecedents are established in a co...
متن کاملIdentification and Resolution of Chinese Zero Pronouns: A Machine Learning Approach
In this paper, we present a machine learning approach to the identification and resolution of Chinese anaphoric zero pronouns. We perform both identification and resolution automatically, with two sets of easily computable features. Experimental results show that our proposed learning approach achieves anaphoric zero pronoun resolution accuracy comparable to a previous state-ofthe-art, heuristi...
