"abstract": "In this paper, we present a method of estimating referents of demonstrative pronouns, personal pronouns, and zero pronouns in Japanese sentences using exampies, surface expressions, topics and loci. Unlike conventional work which was semantic markers for semantic constraints, we used examples for semantic constraints and showed in our experiments that examples are as useful as semantic markers. We also propose many new methods for estimating referents of'pronouns. For example, we use the form \"X of Y\" for estimating referents of demonstrative adjectives. In addition to our new methods, we used many conventional methods. As a result, experiments using these methods obtained a precision rate of 87% in estimating referents of demonstrative pronouns, personal pronouns, and zero pronouns for training sentences, and obtained a precision rate of 78% for test sentences.", |

Pronoun resolution is especially important for machine translation.

The antecedents of pronouns are determined by heuristic rules from left to right. Using these rules, our system assigns points to possible antecedents, and judges that the one having the maximum total score is the desired antecedent. Heuristic rules are classified into two kinds: Candidate enumerating rules and Candidate judging rules. Candidate enumerating rules are used in enumerating candidate antecedents and giving them points (which represent the plausibility of being the correct antecedent). Candidate judging rules are used in giving points to the candidate antecedents selected by Candidate enumerating rules. These rules are shown in Figures 1 and 2 . Surface expressions, semantic constraints, referential properties, etc. are written as conditions in the Condition part. Possible antecedents are written in the Possible-Antecedent part. Points means the plausibility of the possible antecedent.", |

The definition and weight W of the topic and focus are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The distance (D) is the number of topics and loci between the demonstrative and the possible referent.

When there is a subordinate of a noun phrase near it, it is also selected as a candidate of the referent. These rules give higher points to a candidate referent than other rules do. The following is an example of the \"demonstrative adjective + noun phrase a\" referring to (watch) (The old man watched the receding figure of the crane.) \"ano tori-wo tasukete yokatta\" to iimashita.

The detection of the verb phase representing the speaking action is performed as follows. If the quotation is followed by a speaking action verb phrase such as \"to itta (was said),\" the verb phrase is regarded as the verb phase representing the speaking action. Otherwise, the last verb phrase in the previous sentence is regarded as the verb phase representing the speaking action.

"text": "In this paper, we presented a method of estimating referents of demonstrative pronouns, personal pronouns, and Zero pronouns in Japanese sentences using examples, surface expressions, topics and foci. Unlike conventional works, which use semantic markers for semantic constraints, we use examples for semantic constraints and showed in our experiments that examples are as useful as semantic markers. We also proposed many new methods for estimating referents of pronouns. For example, we used the form \"X of Y\" for estimating referents of demonstrative adjectives. In addition to our new methods, we used many conventional methods. As a result, experiments using these methods obtained a precision rate of 87~0 in estimating referents of demonstrative pronouns, personal pronouns, and zero pronouns for training sentences, and obtained a precision rate of 78% for test sentences.", |
