TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "Distributional Identification of Non-Referential Pronouns"

We present an automatic approach to determining whether a pronoun in text refers to a preceding noun phrase or is instead nonreferential. We extract the surrounding textual context of the pronoun and gather, from a large corpus, the distribution of words that occur within that context. We learn to reliably classify these distributions as representing either referential or non-referential pronoun instances. Despite its simplicity, experimental results on classifying the English pronoun it show the system achieves the highest performance yet attained on this important task. i. | Distributional Identification of Non-Referential Pronouns Shane Bergsma Dekang Lin Randy Goebel Department of Computing Science Google Inc.

As part of this task coreference resolution systems must decide which pronouns refer to preceding noun phrases called antecedents and which do not. In particular a long-standing challenge has been to correctly classify instances of the English pronoun it. Consider the sentences 1 You can make it in advance. 2 You can make it in Hollywood. In sentence 1 it is an anaphoric pronoun referring to some previous noun phrase like the sauce or an appointment. In sentence 2 it is part of the idiomatic expression make it meaning succeed. A coreference resolution system should find an antecedent for the first it but not the second. Pronouns that do not refer to preceding noun phrases are called non-anaphoric or non-referential pronouns. The word it is one of the most frequent words in the English language accounting for about 1 of tokens in text and over a quarter of all .
