The Design of an Experiment in Anaphora Resolution for Referring Expressions Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a pilot experiment to measure the effects of redundancy in the resolution of definite descriptions as performed by a small number of human readers. Although originally intended to provide evidence of how much redundancy should ideally be included in generated anaphoric descriptions, preliminary findings reveal a number of little explored issues that are relevant to both referring expressions generation and interpretation.

On The Feasibility of Open Domain Referring Expression Generation Using Large Scale Folksonomies
Generating referring expressions has received considerable attention in Natural Language Generation. In recent years we start seeing deployments of referring expression generators moving away from limited domains with custom-made ontologies. In this work, we explore the feasibility of using large scale noisy ontologies (folksonomies) for open domain referring expression generation, an important...
متن کاملThe Anaphor-Antecedent Match: Issues for Referring Expressions Generation
The design of referring expressions generation algorithms that produce descriptions closer to human performance may benefit from evidence on how human speakers actually interpret these descriptions. To shed light on this issue, in this paper we present an experiment to measure the time required for the interpretation of matching and non-matching anaphoric definite description pairs. Preliminary...
متن کاملThe processing of pronouns and the production of referring expressions in L2 English
Psycholinguistic research investigating production and comprehension of referring expressions has shown that successful reference implies choosing/interpreting a form among a set of referring expressions (e.g., Arnold 2010 for a review). Native speakers are usually very fast and efficient in making these decisions in order to keep up with the flow of normal conversation, requiring them to compr...
متن کاملMining 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 کاملGenerating One-Anaphoric Expressions: Where Does the Decision Lie?
Most natural language generation systems embody mechanisms for choosing whether to subsequently refer to an already-introduced entity by means of a pronoun or a definite noun phrase. Relatively few systems, however, consider referring to entites by means of one-anaphoric expressions such as the small green one. This paper looks at what is involved in generating referring expressions of this typ...
