Text Understanding for Conversational Agent
2005This paper describes a text understanding system for conversational agents. The system resolves zero, direct and indirect anaphors in Japanese texts by integrating two sorts of linguistic resources: a hand-annotated corpus with various relations and automatically constructed case frames. The corpus has relevance tags which consist of predicate-argument
