Abstract

We extend Zhao and Ng's (2007) state-of-the-art Chinese anaphoric zero pronoun (AZP) resolver by (1) using a richer set of features and (2) exploiting the coreference links between zero pronouns during resolution. Results on OntoNotes show that our approach significantly outperforms two state-of-the-art AZP resolvers. To our knowledge, this is the first work to report results obtained by an end-to-end Chinese zero pronoun resolver.
