COREFERENCE RESOLUTION IN AMBIGUITY-SENSITIVE NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for coreference resolution in an ambiguity-sensitive natural language processing system.SOLUTION: An embodiment processes indexed documents within an information search and retrieval system. Ambiguity awareness features, and ambiguity resolution functionality, operate in coordination with coreference resolution. Annotation of coreference entities, and ambiguous interpretations, are supported by in-line markup within text content or by external entity maps. Information expressed within documents is formally organized in terms of facts, or of relationships between entities in the text. Expansion supports application of multiple aliases, or ambiguities, to an indexed entity.
