摘要:

实词回指是指由于实词的原因而与先行词的语法范畴不一致的代词,如在"the government ...“中复数与单数的一致。他们。由于这种情况是罕见的,并与严格同意案件的证据相冲突(“政府...... it“),它们对共指消解和指称表达式生成都提出了实质性的挑战。本文利用OntoNotes语料库,在迄今为止最大的实证数据基础上,采用集成方法预测英语概念回指。除了国家的最先进的预测准确性,结果表明,理论方法假定在先行词的话语是不够的,在回指的话语位置的情况下,以及全球因素,如体裁,有很强的影响的选择指的表达。

英文摘要:

Notional anaphors are pronouns which disagree with their antecedents' grammatical categories for notional reasons, such as plural to singular agreement in: 'the government ... they'. Since such cases are rare and conflict with evidence from strictly agreeing cases ('the government ... it'), they present a substantial challenge to both coreference resolution and referring expression generation. Using the OntoNotes corpus, this paper takes an ensemble approach to predicting English notional anaphora in context on the basis of the largest empirical data to date. In addition to state of the art prediction accuracy, the results suggest that theoretical approaches positing a plural construal at the antecedent's utterance are insufficient, and that circumstances at the anaphor's utterance location, as well as global factors such as genre, have a strong effect on the choice of referring expression.
