Abstract

Building a NLP system requires the adding of linguistic phenomena resolution. One of the most relevant tasks regarding to these phenomena is the coreference resolution. Coreference is defined as a semantic phenomenon and, therefore, apart from the morphological and syntactic information that is highly useful, adding semantic sources improves the capabilities of such a NLP system. In this paper, a complete NLP system is proposed. This system counts on a WSD module that provide semantic information needed for the coreference resolution. This coreference resolution will deal with both pronouns and definite descriptions (DD), two of the most important parts of the anaphora resolution research area. The WSD module is a variant of the Specification Marks Method [7] where for each word in a text a domain label is selected instead of a sense label.
