Semantic Relations for the Recognition of Anaphoric Expressions with dierent head

This technical report addresses the problem of how semantic relations can be used to improve the performance of anaphora resolution. In particular I took the mentions from coreferce chains classied as false negatives by BART, a system for anaphora resolution, and I extracted the relations that hold between the two dierent mentions by means of pattern searching in google. The results show that it is possible to improve the performance of anaphora resolution by classifying false negative co-referring mentions with the same head using taxonomic and associative relations as features.
