- T. Mitamura, Eric Nyberg, Enrique Torrejón, David Svoboda, Ann Brunner, Kathryn L. Baker. 2002. Pronominal anaphora resolution in the KANTOO multilingual machine translation system.. Abstract: We present an approach to pronominal anaphora resolution using KANT Controlled Language and the KANTOO multilingual MT system. Our algorithm is based on a robust, syntax-based approach that applies a set of restrictions and preferences to select the correct antecedent. We report a success rate of 93.3% on a training corpus with 286 anaphors, and 88.8% on held-out data with 144 anaphors. Our approach translates anaphors to Spanish with 97.9% accuracy and to German with 94.4% accuracy on held-out data.
