Anaphora Resolution

<p>Teaching computers to solve language problems is one of the major challenges</p><p>of natural language processing. There is a large amount of interesting research</p><p>devoted to this field. This book fills an existing gap in the literature with an</p><p>up-to-date survey of the field including the author’s own contributions.</p><p>A number of different fields overlap in anaphora resolution – computational</p><p>linguistics natural language processing (NLP) grammar semantics pragmatics</p><p>discourse analysis and artificial intelligence. This book begins by introducing</p><p>basic notions and terminology moving onto early research methods and</p><p>approaches recent developments and applications and future directions.</p><p>It addresses various issues related to the practical implementation of anaphora</p><p>systems such as rules employed algorithms implemented or evaluation</p><p>techniques used. This is an ideal reference book for students and researchers</p><p>in this particular area of computational linguistics.</p><p>Since anaphora resolution is vital for the development of any practical NLP</p><p>system the book will be of interest to readers from both academia and</p><p>industry.</p>
