Anaphora Resolution: Analysing the Impact on Mean Average Precision and Detecting Limitations of Automated Approaches.
This article investigates the impact of anaphora resolution on retrieval systems. To investigate potential benefits, a small sample retrieval system has been built. This system is based on Lucene, providing a search over two nearly identical corpora (in this case, one corpus has undergone anaphora resolution) and two result lists for comparison. As a novelty, the Mean Average Precision (MAP) is calculated for various search queries for both corpora. A comparison of results of automatically and intellectually resolved corpora will be provided. Additionally, a simple Python tool has been developed based on Mitkov’s anaphora resolution system (MARS) to test different approaches, thus highlighting the main problems of automated anaphora resolution.
