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.

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 ...

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.

Discourse Coherence and Pronoun Resolution [PDF]
Language and Cognitive Processes, 2006 This paper used self-paced reading to test processing preferences in pronoun interpretation in English two clause sentences. The results demonstrate that people's preferences can be reversed by changing the coherence relation between the clauses. The results are not compatible with the existence of a single all-purpose strategy in pronoun resolution ...

Gender Marking and Clitic Pronoun Resolution in Simultaneous Bilingual Children
Languages, 2022 The acquisition of clitics still remains a highly controversial issue in Greek acquisition literature despite the bulk of studies performed. Object clitics have been shown to be early acquired by monolingual children in terms of production rates, whereas

NP animacy identification for anaphora resolution
, 2007 In anaphora resolution for English, animacy identification can play an integral role in the application of agreement restrictions between pronouns and candidates, and as a result, can improve the accuracy of anaphora resolution systems.
