@inproceedings{Molla:2003, abstract = {The true power of anaphora resolution algorithms can only be gauged when embedded into specific Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. In this paper we describe the anaphora resolution module from ExtrAns, an answer extraction system. The anaphora resolution module is based on Lappin and Leass' original algorithm, which used McCord's Slot Grammar as the inherent parser. We report how to port Lappin and Leass' algorithm to Link Grammar, a freely available dependency-based parsing system that is used in a range of NLP applications. Finally, we report on how the equivalence classes that result from the anaphora resolution algorithm are incorporated into the logical forms used by ExtrAns.}, added-at = {2008-02-20T02:26:16.000+0100}, author = {Moll{\'a}, Diego and Schwitter, Rolf and Rinaldi, Fabio and Dowdall, James and Hess, Michael}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29d716a9f33e87299d7bf2edfd2c1eefb/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proceedings 2003 International Symposium on Reference Resolution and Its Applications to Question Answering and Summarization}, interhash = {b6594f59f0fa5a2ffb4327449718bec1}, intrahash = {9d716a9f33e87299d7bf2edfd2c1eefb}, keywords = {anaphora ExtrAns}, timestamp = {2008-02-20T02:26:16.000+0100}, title = {Anaphora Resolution in ExtrAns}, year = 2003 } @article{Webber:1994, abstract = {We argue in this paper that many common adverbial phrases generally taken to signal a discourse relation between syntactically connected units within discourse structure, instead work anaphorically to contribute relational meaning, with only indirect dependence on discourse structure.
