Abstract

Discourse analysis plays an important role in natural language understanding. Mandarin Chinese discourse, which has many different properties compared with English discourse, is still far behind in the construction of a basic computational model. We propose an event model to elucidate anaphora and ellipsis in Mandarin Chinese. An event based approach (EBA) based on the model is designed to resolve anaphora and ellipsis in Mandarin Chinese discourse. In this approach, we provide an event based partial parser and an event based reasoning mechanism. This approach is applied to the mathematics word problems of elementary school (MWES). Our results provide empirical evidence that the EBA can resolve many difficult problems in Mandarin Chinese discourse.
普通话语篇分析的实证研究:基于事件的方法
语篇分析在自然语言理解中起着重要作用。与英语语篇相比,汉语普通话语篇具有许多不同的特性,但在基本计算模型的构建上还远远落后。我们提出了一个事件模型来解释汉语的回指和省略。在此基础上设计了一种基于事件的方法来解决汉语语篇中的回指和省略。在这种方法中,我们提供了一个基于事件的部分解析器和一个基于事件的推理机制。将此方法应用于小学数学应用题。我们的研究结果提供了实证证据,证明EBA可以解决普通话语篇中的许多难题。
