Chinese Zero Pronoun Resolution: Some Recent Advances
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend Zhao and Ng's (2007) Chinese anaphoric zero pronoun resolver by (1) using a richer set of features and (2) exploiting the coreference links between zero pronouns during resolution. Results on OntoNotes show that our approach significantly outperforms two state-of-the-art anaphoric zero pronoun resolvers. To our knowledge, this is the first work to report results obtained by an end-toend Chinese zero pronoun resolver.

Chinese Zero Pronoun Resolution: An Unsupervised Probabilistic Model Rivaling Supervised Resolvers
State-of-the-art Chinese zero pronoun resolution systems are supervised, thus relying on training data containing manually resolved zero pronouns. To eliminate the reliance on annotated data, we present a generative model for unsupervised Chinese zero pronoun resolution. At the core of our model is a novel hypothesis: a probabilistic pronoun resolver trained on overt pronouns in an unsupervised...
متن کاملA Deep Neural Network for Chinese Zero Pronoun Resolution
This paper investigates the problem of Chinese zero pronoun resolution. Most existing approaches are based on machine learning algorithms, using hand-crafted features, which is labor-intensive. Moreover, semantic information that is essential in the resolution of noun phrases has not been addressed enough by previous approaches on zero pronoun resolution. This is because that zero pronouns have...
متن کاملChinese Zero Pronoun Resolution: A Joint Unsupervised Discourse-Aware Model Rivaling State-of-the-Art Resolvers
We propose an unsupervised probabilistic model for zero pronoun resolution. To our knowledge, this is the first such model that (1) is trained on zero pronouns in an unsupervised manner; (2) jointly identifies and resolves anaphoric zero pronouns; and (3) exploits discourse information provided by a salience model. Experiments demonstrate that our unsupervised model significantly outperforms it...
متن کاملChinese Zero Pronoun Resolution with Deep Memory Network
Existing approaches for Chinese zero pronoun resolution typically utilize only syntactical and lexical features while ignoring semantic information. The fundamental reason is that zero pronouns have no descriptive information, which brings difficulty in explicitly capturing their semantic similarities with antecedents. Meanwhile, representing zero pronouns is challenging since they are merely g...
متن کاملIdentification and Resolution of Chinese Zero Pronouns: A Machine Learning Approach
In this paper, we present a machine learning approach to the identification and resolution of Chinese anaphoric zero pronouns. We perform both identification and resolution automatically, with two sets of easily computable features. Experimental results show that our proposed learning approach achieves anaphoric zero pronoun resolution accuracy comparable to a previous state-ofthe-art, heuristi...
