Anaphora resolution

Anaphora is a linguistic device commonly used in narratives and dialogs to avoid repetitions of phrases in human communication. By definition, an anaphor depends on another phrase, namely its antecedent, for its semantic interpretation. The task of the automatic resolution of anaphors to antecedents is known as anaphora resolution.

Our hybrid approach for the Anaphora Resolution task is described in the following paper.
