A Computational Mechanism for Pronominal Reference
نویسندگان
چکیده
the syntactically impossible antecedents. This latter This paper describes an implemented mechanism for handling bound anaphora, disjoint reference, and pronominal reference. The algorithm maps over every node in a parse tree in a left-to-right, depth first manner. Forward and backwards coreference, and disjoint reference are assigned during this tree walk. A semantic interpretation procedure is used to deal with multiple antecedents.

متن کاملImproving Pronominal and Deictic Co-Reference Resolution with Multi-Modal Features
Within our ongoing effort to develop a computational model to understand multi-modal human dialogue in the field of elderly care, this paper focuses on pronominal and deictic co-reference resolution. After describing our data collection effort, we discuss our annotation scheme. We developed a co-reference model that employs both a simple notion of markable type, and multiple statistical models....
متن کاملPronominal Reference Type Identification and Event Anaphora Resolution for Hindi
In this paper, we present hybrid approaches for pronominal reference type (abstract or concrete) identification and event anaphora resolution for Hindi. Pronominal reference type identification is one of the important parts for any anaphora resolution system as it helps anaphora resolver in optimal feature selection based on pronominal reference types. We use language specific rules and feature...
متن کاملLinguistic Devices of Identity Representation in English Political Discourse with a Focus on Personal Pronouns: Power and Solidarity
The present study was aimed at exploring the use of pronominal reference for identity representation in terms of power and solidarity in English political discourse. The investigation was based on a corpus of four political interviews and debates amounting 26,500 words. The analysis was both qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative analysis, a discourse-analytic approach was used to fin...
متن کاملThe Relative Contribution of Syntactic and Semantic Prominence in Pronoun Reference Resolution
Subjects are preferred antecedents for pronominal reference (Mathews and Chodorow, 1988; Hudson-D’Zmura and Tanenhaus, 1997). Many pronoun resolution algorithms account for this by assuming a hierarchy of syntactic prominence with SUBJECTS > OBJECTS. However, for many verbs in English, syntactic role is conflated with semantic role: That is, syntactic SUBJECTS are often semantic AGENTS and so o...
