Resolving Pronouns Robustly: Plumbing the Depths of Shallowness
Advaith Siddharthan · 2003
In this paper, we explore various shallow techniques for salience-based pronoun resolution. We use simple noun chunking at the syntactic analysis stage and extract grammatical function information by pattern matching. Identifying subjects and objects is critical to salience calculations. We report that this important subject-object distinction can be made reliably with our shallow approach.
