Pointer Networks is a deep-learning model for the attention-mechanism outputting of a list of elements that corresponds to the input sequence and is based on a recurrent neural network (RNN). The coreference resolution for pronouns is the natural language processing (NLP) task that defines a single entity to find the antecedents that correspond to the pronouns in a document. In this paper, a pronoun coreference-resolution method that finds the relation between the antecedents and the pronouns using the Pointer Networks is proposed; furthermore, the input methods of the Pointer Networks-that is, the chaining order between the words in an entity-are proposed. From among the methods that are proposed in this paper, the chaining order Coref2 showed the best performance with an F1 of MUC 81.40 %. The method showed performances that are 31.00 % and 19.28 % better than the rule-based (50.40 %) and statistics-based (62.12 %) coreference resolution systems, respectively, for the Korean pronouns.

When we extract a representative term from text for information retrieval system or a special information for information retrieval and text milling system, we often need to solve the anaphora resolution problem. The antecedent decision problem of a pronoun is one of the major issues for anaphora resolution. In this paper, we are suggesting a method of deciding an antecedent of the third personal pronouns, such as “he/she/they” to analyze the contents of documents precisely. Generally, the antecedent of the third personal Pronouns seem to be the subject of the current statement or previous statement, and also it occasionally happens more than twice. Based on these characteristics, we have found rules for deciding an antecedent, by investigating a case of being an antecedent from the personal pronouns, which appears in the current statement and the previous statements. Since the heuristic rule differs on the case of the third personal pronouns, we described it as subjective case, objective case, and possessive case based on the case of the pronouns. We collected 300 sentences that include a pronoun from the newspaper articles on political issues. The result of our experiment shows that the recall and precision ratio on deciding the antecedent of the third personal pronouns are 79.0% and 86.8%, respectively.

The information extraction is to delimit in advance, as part of the specification of the task, the semantic range of the output and to filter information from large volumes of texts. The most representative word of the document is composed of named entities and pronouns. Therefore, it is important to resolve coreference in order to extract the meaningful information in information extraction. Coreference resolution is to find name entities co-referencing real-world entities in the documents. Results of coreference resolution are used for name entity detection and template generation. This paper presents the heuristic-based approach for coreference resolution in Korean. We constructed the heuristics expanded gradually by using the corpus and derived the salience factors of antecedents as the importance measure in Korean. Our approach consists of antecedents selection and antecedents weighting. We used three kinds of salience factors that are used to weight each antecedent of the anaphor. The experiment result shows 80% precision.

정보추출과 정보검색 시스템에서 문서의 내용을 보다 정확히 분석하기 위해 3인칭 대명사 \"그/그녀/그들/그녀들\"의 선행사를 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 3인칭 대명사의 선행사는 현재문장 또는 이전문장의 주어인 경우가 많고, 또한 3인칭 대명사가 2회 이상 반복되는 경우가 자주 발생한다. 이러한 특성을 이용하여 현재 문장과 이전 문장에 출현한 인칭명사들 중에서 선행사로 사용되는 경우를 조사하여 경험적인 방법으로 선행사 결정 규칙을 발견하였다. 이 경험 규칙은 3인칭 대명사의 격에 따라 조금씩 달라지기 때문에 대명사의 격에 따라 \"주격/목적격/소유격\"으로 구분하여 기술하였다. 실험 결과, 3인칭 대명사의 선행사 결정 정확도는 주격, 소유격, 목적격에 대해 각각 88.6%, 90.3%, 81.5%로 나타났다. 90.3%, 81.5%로 나타났다.

Pointer Networks is a model which generates an output sequence with elements that correspond to an input sequence, based on the attention mechanism. A time complexity of the pointer networks is $O(N^2)$ resulting in longer decoding time of the model. This is because the model calculates attention for each input, if size of the input sequence is N. In this paper, we propose the pointer networks based on skip pointing model, which confirms the necessary input vector at decoding for reducing the decoding time of the pointer networks. Furthermore, experiments were conducted for the pronouns coreference resolution, which uses the method proposed in this paper. Our results show that the processing time per sentence was approximately 1.15 times faster, and the MUC F1 was 83.60%; this was approximately 2.17% improvement and a better performance than the original pointer networks.

본 논문은 Stanford의 다 단계 시브(Multi-pass Sieve) 상호참조해결을 기반으로, 한국어에 적용한 한국어 상호참조해결(선행 연구)을 이용하여 한정 명사구에 대한 처리와 확장된 대명사 상호참조해결 방법을 제안한다. 지시 관형사와 명사가 결합하여 형성되는 한정 명사구는 일반 멘션(mention)의 특징과 대명사 속성을 한 번에 갖게 된다. 이렇게 되면, 한정 명사구는 모든 시브(sieve)에서 상호참조를 진행할 수 있게 된다. 따라서 이런 특징으로 한정 명사구를 어떤 관점(멘션 또는 대명사)에서 상호참조해결하는 것이 좋은지 보인다. 또한 이런 한정 명사구의 대명사 속성을 이용하기 위해 문법적 의미적 규칙을 적용할 것을 제안한다. 그 결과, 본 논문의 선행 연구인 한국어 상호참조해결에 비하여 CoNLL 값이 약 0.8%만큼 향상되어 61.45%를 측정하였다.
