Using bilingual corpora to improve pronoun resolution

This paper shows that aligned bilingual English-French corpora offer the advantage of improving the performance of anaphora resolution in both languages. It sets out a new ‘mutual enhancement’ methodology and discusses the results obtained from running the enhanced anaphora resolution algorithms for English and French on a bilingual corpus. The evaluation reports up to 4.62% improvement of the success rate for English and up to 5.15% for French.
