Discours, 2013 Two visual-world eye-tracking experiments were designed to investigate the resolution of ambiguous German pronouns, the personal pronoun (er) and the d-pronoun (der) in spoken discourse.

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.

Pseudo Zero Pronoun Resolution Improves Zero Anaphora Resolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2021 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2021 Masked language models (MLMs) have contributed to drastic performance improvements with regard to zero anaphora resolution (ZAR). To further improve this approach, in this study, we made two proposals. The first is a new pretraining task that trains MLMs on anaphoric relations with explicit supervision, and the second proposal is a new finetuning ...

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.

A Tableau Calculus for Pronoun Resolution
, 1999 We present a tableau calculus for reasoning in fragments of natural language. We focus on the problem of pronoun resolution and the way in which it complicates automated theorem proving for natural language processing. A method for explicitly manipulating contextual information during deduction is proposed, where pronouns are resolved against this ...

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.

The interpretation of German personal pronouns and d-pronouns
Zeitschrift für Sprachwissenschaft, 2019 Three experiments investigated the interpretation and production of pronouns in German. The first two experiments probed the preferred interpretation of a pronoun in contexts containing two potential antecedents by having participants complete a sentence

Implicit Causality and Consequentiality and Effect of Pronoun Resolution/Quality of Use among EFL Learners [PDF]
مجلة الدراسات الإنسانية والأدبية, 2020 Implicit causality (IC) and Implicit Consequentiality (IR) are identified as universal attributes or elements that affect pronoun use because they arise from verb or adverb biases.
