TL;DR: In this paper, an antecedent determining method and apparatus for coreference resolution has been presented, which is based on the lexical features of the plurality of candidate antecedents.
Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an antecedent determining method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining to-be-identified statement information; extracting a plurality of candidate antecedents and lexical features of the plurality of candidate antecedents from the statement information when it is identified that a pronoun exists in the statement information; and determining, based on the lexical features of the plurality of candidate antecedents, a target antecedent referred to by the pronoun in the plurality of candidate antecedents. The present disclosure resolves a technical problem that coreference resolution has low processing efficiency.

TL;DR: The main problem with this account is that it makes the wrong predictions for sentences like (4), which, although structurally parallel to (1), are perfectly grammatical, a fact first pointed out by Kayne (1981).
Abstract: The failure of antecedent government is attributed to the fact that Comp inherits the index from what and can thus only serve as an antecedent for ei, not for ej' Different implementations of this idea are presented in Aoun et al. (1980), Lasnik and Saito (1984), Stowell (1986), and Aoun et al. (1987).1 The main problem with this account is that it makes the wrong predictions for sentences like (4), which, although structurally parallel to (1), are perfectly grammatical, a fact first pointed out by Kayne (1981).

TL;DR: This article evaluated the discourse prominence of entities evoked in relative clauses and found that the matrix clause subject referent is strongly preferred as an antecedent, thus strengthening the conclusion that entity evoked by relative clauses are less salient than their main clause counterparts.
Abstract: In this paper we present a corpus study and a sentence completion experiment designed to evaluate the discourse prominence of entities evoked in relative clauses. The corpus study shows a preference for referring expressions after a sentence final relative clause to select a matrix clause entity as their antecedents. In the sentence completion experiment, we evaluated the potential effect of head type (restrictive relative clauses are contrasted with non-restrictives and restrictives with an indefinite head). The experimental data show that the matrix clause subject referent is strongly preferred as an antecedent, thus strengthening the conclusion that entities evoked in relative clauses are less salient than their main clause counterparts. Some remaining issues are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the influence of gender on entrepreneurial passion for its three domains and find that there is no significant influence on entrepreneurship's antecedent of self-identity.
Abstract: Entrepreneurial Passion is seen as a driver for entrepreneurial action and can be connected to the success of a venture. Currently, there is not much research on the antecedent of Entrepreneurial passion, like Gender. Gender is not only an antecedent of passion but also related to the concept of self-identity. Social role identities are different for women and men and entrepreneurship is often seen as a masculine task. This leads to women having a negative perception of their legitimacy, resulting in the experience of barriers to opportunity recognition and financing. The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of gender on entrepreneurial passion for its three domains. The findings show that there is no significant influence of gender on passion. For all three domains of passion, female and male entrepreneurs show no difference in their experience of passion. This shows that although women may face barriers, which are not experienced by men, these barriers do not impact their experience of entrepreneurial passion.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses a model of anaphora resolution based on distributional-algebraic approach in analytical models theory of algebraic linguistics, and describes anaphoric pairs and paradigmatic sequences of quasi-anaphors.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a model of anaphora resolution based on distributional-algebraic approach in analytical models theory of algebraic linguistics. The problem of anaphora resolution is the one of recognizing properly antecedents of anaphors. Much attention has been paid to the problem of anaphora resolution by researchers in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. It is a general view among researchers that a successful mechanism of anaphora resolution should combine syntactical and semantical ingredients with an inferential apparatus based on the knowledge about the world described by the language. The approach discussed in the chapter relies on distributional-algebraic techniques of Analytical Models in Algebraic Linguistics. The usage of the term anaphora is confined to pointing-back devices of language, that is, to using a certain string (an anaphor) to refer to an object referred earlier to by another string (an antecedent). The chapter also describes anaphoric pairs and paradigmatic sequences of quasi-anaphors.
