Anaphora Resolution: A Multi-Strategy Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anaphora resolution has proven to be a very difficult problem; it requires the integrated application of syntactic. semantic. and pragmatic knowledge. This paper examines the hypothesis that instead of attempting to construct a monolithic method for resolving anaphora. the combination of multiple strategies, each exploiting a different knowledge source, proves more effective -theoretically and computationally. Cognitive plausibility is established in that human judgements of the optimal anaphoric referent accord with those of the strategy-based method, and human inability to determine a unique referent corresponds to the cases where different strategies offer conflicting candidates for the anaphoric referent.

متن کاملAnaphora Resolution in Multi-Person Dialogues
Anaphora resolution for dialogues is a difficult problem because of the several kinds of complex anaphoric references generally present in dialogic discourses. It is nevertheless a critical first step in the processing of any such discourse. In this paper, we describe a system for anaphora resolution in multi-person dialogues. This system aims to bring together a wide array syntactic, semantic ...
متن کاملObject Level Strategy for Spectral Quality Assessment of High Resolution Pan-sharpen Images
Panchromatic and multi-spectral images produced by the remote sensing satellites are fused together to provide a multi-spectral image with a high spatial resolution at the same time. The spectral quality of the fused images is very important because the quality of a large number of remote sensing products depends on it. Due to the importance of the spectral quality of the fused images, its eval...
متن کاملOn pronouns in Catalan and game theory
The goal of this paper is to explore whether game theory can account for the distribution of pronouns in Catalan, a null-subject language. I extend the game-theoretical account proposed by Clark and Parikh (2006), which uses games of partial information to account for anaphora production and resolution in English. Their proposal needs to be extended to account for the fact that null-subject lan...
متن کاملExploiting logical document structure for anaphora resolution
The aim of the paper is twofold. Firstly, an approach is presented how to select the correct antecedent for an anaphoric element according to the kind of text segments in which both of them occur. Basically, information on logical text structure (e.g. chapters, sections, paragraphs) is used in order to select the antecedent life span of a linguistic expression, i.e. some linguistic expressions ...
