This paper presents a quantitative and qualitative error analysis of Russian anaphora resolvers which participated in the RU-EVAL event. Its aim is to identify and characterize a set of challenging errors common to stateof-the-art systems dealing with Russian. We examined three types of pronouns: 3rd person pronouns, reflexive and relative pronouns. The investigation has shown that a high level...

Pronouns are commonly used instead of explicitly repeating a name, and, in many cases, we comprehend language faster when pronouns are used instead of repetitive references. This is surprising because pronouns are often ambiguous, whereas repeated names provide precise reference. We used functional MRI to investigate the neural correlates of this paradoxical preference. Reading repeated names e...

In a Hindi to Bengali transfer based machine translation system the baseline lexical transfer module replaces a Hindi word by its most frequent Bengali translation. Some pronouns in Hindi can have multiple translations in Bengali. The choices of actual translations have big impact on the accessibility of the translated sentence. The list of Hindi pronouns is small and their corresponding Bengal...

1. Introduction Resolving zero pronouns is a major problem in developing a natural language understanding (NLU) system for Thai. Since subject and object pronouns in Thai can be omitted from a sentence, an NLU system must be capable of identifying the missing subjects or objects in the sentence. This process of identifying referents for zero pronouns, which is a part of referent resolution 1 pr...

Previous work on pronouns in SMT has focussed on third-person pronouns, treating them all as anaphoric. Little attention has been paid to other uses or other types of pronouns. Believing that further progress requires careful analysis of pronouns as a whole, we have analysed a parallel corpus of annotated English-German texts to highlight some of the problems that hinder progress. We combine th...

We propose an annotation framework to explicitly identify dropped subject pronouns in Chinese. We acknowledge and specify 10 concrete pronouns that exist as words in Chinese and 4 abstract pronouns that do not correspond to Chinese words, but that are recognized conceptually, to native Chinese speakers. These abstract pronouns are identified as “unspecified”, “pleonastic”, “event”, and “existen...

This paper describes a human-machine dialogue system which is configured to support dialogue between multiple speakers. The user is one speaker, and the system ‘plays’ a number of other speakers. We present a number of principles governing dialogue management in such cases, which relate to turn-taking and the identification of the addressees of utterances. We also describe how the syntactic and...
