The processing of subject pronouns in highly proficient L2 speakers of English
Glossa, 2020 Studies on second language (L2) anaphora resolution have mainly focused on learners of null-subject languages, demonstrating that L2 speakers show residual indeterminacy in the L2 referential choice, even at the highest levels of proficiency.

A Study of Zero Anaphora Resolution in Chinese Discourse: From the Perspective of Psycholinguistics
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Anaphora is the main linguistic means to establish discourse coherence, and anaphora resolution is the psychological process to maintain this coherence.

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.

Optimizing algorithms for pronoun resolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the 20th international conference on Computational Linguistics - COLING '04, 2004 The paper aims at a deeper understanding of several well-known algorithms and proposes ways to optimize them. It describes and discusses factors and strategies of factor interaction used in the algorithms. The factors used in the algorithms and the algorithms themselves are evaluated on a German corpus annotated with syntactic and coreference ...

An expectation maximization approach to pronoun resolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the Ninth Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning - CONLL '05, 2005 We propose an unsupervised Expectation Maximization approach to pronoun resolution. The system learns from a fixed list of potential antecedents for each pronoun. We show that unsupervised learning is possible in this context, as the performance of our system is comparable to supervised methods.

EM works for pronoun anaphora resolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the 12th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics on - EACL '09, 2009 We present an algorithm for pronoun-anaphora (in English) that uses Expectation Maximization (EM) to learn virtually all of its parameters in an unsupervised fashion. While EM frequently fails to find good models for the tasks to which it is set, in this case it works quite well.

BMC Neuroscience, 2006 Background It is well known that both semantic and syntactic information play a role in pronoun resolution in sentences. However, it is unclear what the relative contribution of these sources of information is for the establishment of a coreferential ...

Strong semantic biases make demonstrative pronouns act like personal pronouns
Glossa, 2023 Anaphoric demonstrative pronouns (d-pronouns), which are found in some languages in addition to the more common personal pronouns (p-pronouns), provide an interesting test case for theories of pronoun resolution.
