Our submission to the Semeval 2010 task on coreference resolution in multiple languages is based on parse analysis and similarity clustering. The system uses a binary classifier, based on Maximum Entropy, to decide whether or not there is a relationship between each pair of mentions extracted from

from aspects of lexical representation and are resolved by the same processing mechanisms. Reinterpreting syntactic ambiguity resolution as a form of lexical ambiguity resolution obviates the need for special parsing principles to account for syntactic interpretation preferences, reconciles a number

Introduction I begin with an intuition: when I read a sentence, I read it a chunk at a time. For example, the previous sentence breaks up something like this: (1) [I begin] [with an intuition]: [when I read] [a sentence], [I read it] [a chunk] [at a time] These chunks correspond in some way

We present a noun phrase coreference system that extends the work of Soon et al. (2001) and, to our knowledge, produces the best results to date on the MUC6 and MUC-7 coreference resolution data sets --- F-measures of 70.4 and 63.4, respectively.

. The article presents algorithms that take advantage of taxonomic similarity in resolving syntactic and semantic ambiguity, along with experimental results demonstrating their e#ectiveness. 1. Introduction Evaluating semantic relatedness using network representations is a problem with a long history

coreference, quantification, and many other higher-order phenomena, but also broad, in that it covers every instance of every verb in the corpus and allows representative statistics to be calculated. We discuss the criteria used to define the sets of semantic roles used in the annotation process

This paper presents context-group discrimination, a disambiguation algorithm based on clustering. Senses are interpreted as groups (or clusters) of similar contexts of the ambiguous word. Words, contexts, and senses are represented in Word Space, a high-dimensional, real-valued space in which

How do people know as much as they do with as little information as they get? The problem takes many forms; learning vocabulary from text is an especially dramatic and convenient case for research. A new general theory of acquired similarity and knowledge representation, latent semantic analysis
