Neural Recovery Machine for Chinese Dropped Pronoun

2016-05-07 · Wei-Nan Zhang, Ting Liu, Qingyu Yin, Yu Zhang

Dropped pronouns (DPs) are ubiquitous in pro-drop languages like Chinese, Japanese etc. Previous work mainly focused on painstakingly exploring the empirical features for DPs recovery. In this paper, we propose a neural recovery machine (NRM) to model and recover DPs in Chinese, so that to avoid the non-trivial feature engineering process. The experimental results show that the proposed NRM significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches on both two heterogeneous datasets. Further experiment results of Chinese zero pronoun (ZP) resolution show that the performance of ZP resolution can also be improved by recovering the ZPs to DPs.

Transformer-GCRF: Recovering Chinese Dropped Pronouns with General Conditional Random Fields

2020-10-07 · Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2020 · Jingxuan Yang, Kerui Xu, Jun Xu, Si Li 외

Pronouns are often dropped in Chinese conversations and recovering the dropped pronouns is important for NLP applications such as Machine Translation. Existing approaches usually formulate this as a sequence labeling tas…

A Joint Model for Dropped Pronoun Recovery and Conversational Discourse Parsing in Chinese Conversational Speech

2021-06-07 · ACL 2021 5 · Jingxuan Yang, Kerui Xu, Jun Xu, Si Li 외

In this paper, we present a neural model for joint dropped pronoun recovery (DPR) and conversational discourse parsing (CDP) in Chinese conversational speech. We show that DPR and CDP are closely related, and a joint mod…

Recovering Dropped Pronouns in Chinese Conversations via Modeling Their Referents

2019-05-17 · NAACL 2019 6 · Jingxuan Yang, Jianzhuo Tong, Si Li, Sheng Gao 외

Pronouns are often dropped in Chinese sentences, and this happens more frequently in conversational genres as their referents can be easily understood from context. Recovering dropped pronouns is essential to application…

Annotating dropped pronouns in Chinese newswire text

2012-05-01 · LREC 2012 5 · Elizabeth Baran, Yaqin Yang, Nianwen Xue

We propose an annotation framework to explicitly identify dropped subject pronouns in Chinese. We acknowledge and specify 10 concrete pronouns that exist as words in Chinese and 4 abstract pronouns that do not correspond…
