An Anaphora Resolution Algorithm for a Chinese Information Extraction System
Dongmo Zhang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2003
Focused on pronominal and definite nominal anaphora for an information extraction system, this method is divided into two parts: the rule-based and the factors-based statistical resolution algorithm. The general representation, the method to get rules and the application method pertaining to rule are discussed. Some examples are given to show the effectiveness of the rule. Using these rules of the rule-database, people can filter out the possible antecedents. If lucky enough, people can filter out the exact antecedent.Otherwise,it goes to the factors-based statistical resolution. Every candidate compute its value on the every factor and sum them, then select the one with the highest sum value as the antecedent. The method is implemented and tested. The result shows that the proposed method is promising.
