A Constraint-based Approach to Noun Phrase Coreference Resolution in German Newspaper Text
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of a wide range of features for their usefulness in the resolution of nominal coreference, both as hard constraints (i.e. completely removing elements from the list of possible candidates) as well as soft constraints (where a cumulation of violations of soft constraints will make it less likely that a candidate is chosen as the antecedent). We present a state of the art system based on such constraints and weights estimated with a maximum entropy model, using lexical information to resolve cases of coreferent bridging.

Corpus based coreference resolution for Farsi text
"Coreference resolution" or "finding all expressions that refer to the same entity" in a text, is one of the important requirements in natural language processing. Two words are coreference when both refer to a single entity in the text or the real world. So the main task of coreference resolution systems is to identify terms that refer to a unique entity. A coreference resolution tool could be...
متن کاملA Machine Learning Approach to Coreference Resolution of Noun Phrases
In this paper, we present a learning approach to coreference resolution of noun phrases in unrestricted text. The approach learns from a small, annotated corpus and the task includes resolving not just a certain type of noun phrase (e.g., pronouns) but rather general noun phrases. It also does not restrict the entity types of the noun phrases; that is, coreference is assigned whether they are o...

In this paper, we present a learning approach for coreference resolution of noun phrases in unrestricted text. The approach learns from a small, annotated corpus and the task includes resolving not just pronouns but rather general noun phrases. In contrast to previous work, we attempt to evaluate our approach on a common data set, the MUC-6 coreference corpus. We obtained encouraging results, i...
متن کاملLearning Noun Phrase Anaphoricity to Improve Conference Resolution: Issues in Representation and Optimization
Knowledge of the anaphoricity of a noun phrase might be profitably exploited by a coreference system to bypass the resolution of non-anaphoric noun phrases. Perhaps surprisingly, recent attempts to incorporate automatically acquired anaphoricity information into coreference systems, however, have led to the degradation in resolution performance. This paper examines several key issues in computi...
متن کاملUsing Knowledge-poor Coreference Resolution for Text Summarization
We present a system that produces 10-word summaries based on the single summarization strategy of outputting noun phrases representing the most important text entities (as represented by noun phrase coreference chains). The coreference chains were computed using fuzzy set theory combined with knowledgepoor corefernce heuristics.
