It-disambiguation and source-aware language models for cross-lingual pronoun prediction
Sharid Loáiciga, Liane Guillou, Christian Hardmeier · 2016
We present our systems for the WMT 2016 shared task on cross-lingual pronoun prediction.The main contribution is a classifier used to determine whether an instance of the ambiguous English pronoun "it" functions as an anaphoric, pleonastic or event reference pronoun.For the English-to-French task the classifier is incorporated in an extended baseline, which takes the form of a source-aware language model.An implementation of the sourceaware language model is also provided for each of the remaining language pairs.
