Bootstrapping path-based pronoun resolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Computational Linguistics and the 44th annual meeting of the ACL - ACL '06, 2006 We present an approach to pronoun resolution based on syntactic paths. Through a simple bootstrapping procedure, we learn the likelihood of coreference between a pronoun and a candidate noun based on the path in the parse tree between the two entities.
