Abducing Coreference by Model Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we argue that the resolution of anaphoric expressions in an utterance is essentially an abductive task following [12] who use a weighted abduction scheme on horn clauses to deal with reference. We give a semantic representation for utterances containing anaphora that enables us to compute possible antecedents by abductive inference. We extend the disjunctive model construction procedure of hyper tableaux [3, 14] with a clause transformation turning the abductive task into a model generation problem and show the completeness of this transformation with respect to the computation of abductive explanations. This abductive inference is applied to the resolution of anaphoric expressions in our general model constructing framework for incremental discourse representation which we argue to be useful for computing information updates from natural language utterances.

Distantly Labeling Data for Large Scale Cross-Document Coreference
Cross-document coreference, the problem of resolving entity mentions across multi-document collections, is crucial to automated knowledge base construction and data mining tasks. However, the scarcity of large labeled data sets has hindered supervised machine learning research for this task. In this paper we develop and demonstrate an approach based on “distantly-labeling” a data set from which...
متن کاملJoint Inference for Event Timeline Construction
This paper addresses the task of constructing a timeline of events mentioned in a given text. To accomplish that, we present a novel representation of the temporal structure of a news article based on time intervals. We then present an algorithmic approach that jointly optimizes the temporal structure by coupling local classifiers that predict associations and temporal relations between pairs o...
متن کاملCorpus 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...

Coreference resolution is an advanced issue in natural language processing. Nowadays, due to the extension of social networks, TV channels, news agencies, the Internet, etc. in human life, reading all the contents, analyzing them, and finding a relation between them require time and cost. In the present era, text analysis is performed using various natural language processing techniques, one ...
متن کاملReference Resolution beyond Coreference: a Conceptual Frame and its Application
A model for reference use in communication is proposed, from a representationist point of view. Both the sender and the receiver of a message handle representations of their common environment, including mental representations of objects. Reference resolution by a computer is viewed as the construction of object representations using referring expressions from the discourse, whereas often only ...
