This paper describes a coreference resolution system for math problem text. Case frame dictionaries and a math taxonomy are utilized for supplying domain knowledge. The system deals with various anaphoric phenomena beyond wellstudied entity coreferences.

We describe a method for determining the names of RFID-tagged objects in activity videos using descriptions which have been parsed to provide anaphoric reference resolution and ontological categorization.

This paper presents two approaches to Portuguese anaphor resolution, one based on a morpho-syntactic information and other on semantic features. We present a corpus based evaluation, focusing especially on anaphoric definite descriptions, which includes direct, indirect and associative anaphors.

Discourse structure is reflected by a number of global prosodic parameters, like for example pause duration and pitch range. Discourse structure is also known to affect the accessibility/salience of antecedents of anaphoric expressions. Assuming these generalizations are correct, one can ask whether listeners use the information encoded in pauses and pitch range to resolve anaphoric references ...

We investigated the time course of anaphor resolution in children and whether this is modulated by individual differences in working memory and reading skill. The eye movements of 30 children (10-11 years) were monitored as they read short paragraphs in which (1) the semantic typicality of an antecedent and (2) its distance in relation to an anaphor were orthogonally manipulated. Children showe...

One of the main reasons for having low quality automatic extracts is the presence of dangling anaphors. This paper analyses the referential expressions in a corpus of human written scientific summaries and tries to identify ways for improving the quality of automatic extracts. By recording the distance between the anaphoric expressions and their referents we noticed that humans do not use an ag...

This paper describes our participation in the CoNLL-2011 shared task for closed task. The approach used combines refined salience measure based pronominal resolution and CRFs for non-pronominal resolution. In this work we also use machine learning based approach for identifying non-anaphoric pronouns.

This paper presents an experimental study on the interpretation of the complement anaphora the others in inter-sentential discourse. It aims to offer an answer to the following two empirical questions. First, how complement anaphora denote the “complement set”, a set of referents that includes those referents not denoted by the matching anaphoric antecedent. Second, what are the exact interpret...

Biomedical literature has been the focus of relevant information extraction projects, however there is no corpus of full scientific articles annotated with anaphoric links for training and evaluation of anaphora resolution systems—which are an important part of information extraction efforts—for this domain. We have created a corpus of biomedical articles that are annotated with anaphoric links...
