Claims20
A method of recovering a dropped pronoun, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, data corresponding to one or more input words;
- determining, by the computer, contextual representations for the received input word data;
- identifying, by the computer, the dropped pronoun based on a probability value associated with the contextual representations;
- and
- determining, by the computer, a span associated with one or more of the received input words corresponding to which of the input words the dropped pronoun refers.
A computer system for recovering a dropped pronoun, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media configured to store computer program code;
- and
- one or more computer processors configured to access said computer program code and operate as instructed by said computer program code, said computer program code including:
- receiving code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to receive data corresponding to one or more input words;
- determining code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to determine contextual representations for the received input word data;
- identifying code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to identify the dropped pronoun based on a probability value associated with the contextual representations;
- and
- determining code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to determine a span associated with one or more of the received input words corresponding to which of the input words the dropped pronoun refers.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program for recovering a dropped pronoun, the computer program configured to cause one or more computer processors to:
- receive data corresponding to one or more input words;
- determine contextual representations for the received input word data;
- identify the dropped pronoun based on a probability value associated with the contextual representations;
- and
- determine a span associated with one or more of the received input words corresponding to which of the input words the dropped pronoun refers.
