An algorithm for VP ellipsis [PDF]
Proceedings of the 30th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1992 An algorithm is proposed to determine antecedents for VP ellipsis. The algorithm eliminates impossible antecedents, and then imposes a preference ordering on possible antecedents. The algorithm performs with 94% accuracy on a set of 304 examples of VP ellipsis collected from the Brown Corpus.
