Description
Summary:Recent technological advances have allowed the development of numerous natural language processing applications with which users frequently interact. When interacting with this type of application, users often search for the economy of words, which promotes the use of pronouns, thereby highlighting the well-known anaphora problem. This chapter describes a proposal to approach the pronominal anaphora for the Spanish language. A set of rules (based on the Eagle standard) was designed to identify the referents of personal pronouns through the structure of the grammatical tags of the words. The proposed algorithm uses the online Freeling service to perform tokenization and tagging tasks. The performance of the algorithm was compared with an online version of Freeling, and the proposed algorithm shows better performance.
