Pronominal anaphora resolution using a shallow meaning representation of sentences
H. Ho, Kyungman Min, W.K. Yeap · 2004
Abstract. This paper describes a knowledge-poor anaphora resolution approach based on shallow meaning representation of sentences. Within our representa-tion, we define a new local domain which provides a powerful cue for resolving pronominal anaphora. Other information used included syntactic information, syntactic parallelism and salience weights. We collected 111 singular 3rd per-son pronouns from open domain resources such as children’s novel and exam-ples from several anaphora resolution papers. There are 111 third-person sin-gular pronouns in the experiment data set and 94 of them demonstrate prono-minal anaphora in domain of test data. The system successfully resolves 78.4% of anaphoric examples. 1
