Resolution of Verb Ellipsis in Japanese Sentence using Surface Expressions and Examples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Verbs are sometimes omitted in Japanese sentences. It is necessary to recover omitted verbs for purposes of language understanding, machine translation, and conversational processing. This paper describes a practical way to recover omitted verbs by using surface expressions and examples. We experimented the resolution of verb ellipses by using this information, and obtained a recall rate of 73% and a precision rate of 66% on test sentences.

Sentence Trimming in Service of Verb Phrase Ellipsis Resolution
We describe two methods of improving the coverage of a system that automatically detects and resolves verb phrase ellipsis. Both methods involve recognizing non-core sentence constituents, thereby making the core constituents more easily manipulated by the ellipsis detection and resolution functions. A system evaluation shows increases both in the number of sentences in which ellipsis is detect...
متن کاملGrammar for ellipsis resolution in Japanese
This paper elucidates the linguistic mechanisms for resolving ellipsis (zero anaphor). The mechanisms consist of three tiers of linguistic system. [1] Japanese sentences are structured in such a way to anchor the topic, which is predominantly the subject (by Sentence devices), [2] with argument inferring cues on the verbal predicate (by Predicate devices), and [3] are cohesively sequenced with ...
متن کاملA Generalized Reconstruction Algorithm For Ellipsis Resolution
We present an algorithm which assigns interpretations to several major types of ellipsis structures through a generalized procedure of syntactic reconstruction. Ellipsis structures are taken to be sequences of lexically realized arguments and/or adjuncts of an empty verbal head. Reconstruction is characterized as the specification of a (partial) correspondence relation between the unrealized he...
متن کاملResolving ‘incognito’ ellipsis: treatment for constructions that disguise ellipsis
This paper raises a neglected issue in the study of ellipsis resolution. The existence of ellipsis under certain constructions is often disguised due to the structure that assigns the nominative marking to what is typically the object. This kind of ellipsis deserves attention in view of the fact that its referent is the agent of the sentence and that these constructions are observed in diverse ...

This paper deals with the underspeciied semantic representation of ellipsis and its resolution. We present an analysis to explain the the distribution of strict and sloppy readings in the interaction of verb phrase ellipsis and anaphora. The analysis is integrated into a framework that enables a uniform and underspeciied treatment of scope, anaphora and VPE. Abstract This paper deals with the u...
