Using The WordNet Hierarchy For Associative Anaphora Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we explore how the taxonomic inheritance hierarchy in a semantic net can contribute to the resolution of associative anaphoric expressions. We present the results of some preliminary experiments and discuss both their implications and the scope for improvements to the technique.

Mining a Corpus to Support Associative Anaphora Resolution
While work on pronominal anaphora resolution is well established, and there has been considerable work on definite noun phrase anaphora, associative anaphora—a phenomenon whereby an entity can be referred to by a definite referring expression without previously being mentioned in the text—has been much less investigated. In this paper, we describe work that aims to determine the appropriate ant...
متن کاملAnaphora Resolution with Word Sense Disambiguation
We describe a simple word sense disambiguation system equipped with the Kennedy and Boguraev (1996) anaphora resolution algorithm, evaluated on the SENSEVAL-2 English all-words task. The system relies on the structure of the WordNet hierarchy to pick optimal senses for nouns in the text. Since anaphoric references are known to indicate the topic of the text (Boguraev et al., 1998), they may aid...
متن کاملComparing Knowledge Sources for Nominal Anaphora Resolution
We compare two ways of obtaining lexical knowledge for antecedent selection in other-anaphora and definite noun phrase coreference. Specifically, we compare an algorithm that relies on links encoded in the manually created lexical hierarchy WordNet and an algorithm that mines corpora by means of shallow lexico-semantic patterns. As corpora we use the British National Corpus (BNC), as well as th...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Model for Associative Anaphora Resolution
This paper proposes a probabilistic model for associative anaphora resolution in Japanese. Associative anaphora is a type of bridging anaphora, in which the anaphor and its antecedent are not coreferent. Our model regards associative anaphora as a kind of zero anaphora and resolves it in the same manner as zero anaphora resolution using automatically acquired lexical knowledge. Experimental res...
متن کاملAnalysis and Reference Resolution of Bridge Anaphora across Different Text Genres
We discuss bridge relations in Dutch between two textual referents across six di↵erent text genres. After briefly presenting the annotation guidelines and inter-annotation agreement results, we conduct an in-depth manual analysis of the di↵erent types of bridge relations found in our data sets. This analysis reveals that for all genres bridging references stand mostly in a class relationship, w...
