Instance Sampling Methods for Pronoun Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Instance sampling is a method to balance extremely skewed training sets as they occur, for example, in machine learning settings for anaphora resolution. Here, the number of negative samples (i.e. non-anaphoric pairs) is usually substantially larger than the number of positive samples. This causes classifiers to be biased towards negative classification, leading to subopti-

Are implicit causality pronoun resolution biases consistent across languages and cultures?
The referent of a nonreflexive pronoun depends on context, but the nature of these contextual restrictions is controversial. For instance, in causal dependent clauses, the preferred referent of a pronoun varies systematically with the verb in the main clause (Sally frightens Mary because she … vs. Sally loves Mary because she …). Several theories claim that verbs with similar meanings across la...
متن کاملResolution of Difficult Pronouns Using the ROSS Method
A new natural language understanding method for disambiguation of difficult pronouns is described. Difficult pronouns are those pronouns for which a level of world or domain knowledge is needed in order to perform anaphoral or other types of resolution. Resolution of difficult pronouns may in some cases require a prior step involving the application of inference to a situation that is represent...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of Centering-Based Algorithms for Pronoun Resolution in Portuguese
Pronominal anaphora resolution consists in finding a referent for a given pronoun. Although being essential for many natural language processing systems, such as automatic translators, text generators and summarizers, there is a myriad of issues regarding this task, particularly when there is more than one possible referent for a given pronoun. Over the years, several approaches have been propo...
متن کاملApplying Machine Learning Toward an Automatic Classification of It
In the majority of cases, the pronoun it illustrates nominal anaphora, tending to refer back to another noun phrase in the text. However, in a significant minority of cases, the pronoun is used in exceptional ways that fail to demonstrate strict nominal anaphora. The identification of these uses of it is important in all fields where pronoun resolution has an impact. Following a survey of previ...
متن کاملA Twin-Candidate Based Approach for Event Pronoun Resolution using Composite Kernel
Event Anaphora Resolution is an important task for cascaded event template extraction and other NLP study. In this paper, we provide a first systematic study of resolving pronouns to their event verb antecedents for general purpose. First, we explore various positional, lexical and syntactic features useful for the event pronoun resolution. We further explore tree kernel to model structural inf...
