Abstract

Antelogue is a pronoun resolution prototype designed to be released as off-the-shelf software to be used autonomously or integrated with larger anaphora resolution or other NLP systems. It has modules to handle pronouns in both text and dialogue. In Antelogue, the problem of pronoun resolution is addressed as a two-step process: a) acquiring information about properties of words and the entities they represent and b) determining an algorithm that utilizes these features to make resolution decisions. A hybrid approach is implemented that combines known statistical and machine learning techniques for feature acquisition and a symbolic algorithm for resolution.
