Reference Resolution in a Shared Environment
- Ian has just transfered and is concentrating
his doctoral work on reference resolution.
- This is a standard NLU problem.
- An example is
John walked to the door.
He
fell over.
- Resolving He to John is a pronominal reference resolution.
- While this is a standard problem, this work is novel
because it refers to objects in a shared environment.
- Prior work has been based on just text. Here we
can refer to objects that have never been mentioned in the
text.
- It's an example of one of the host of problems that need
to be solved.
