Anaphora resolution is one of essential tasks in message understanding. In this paper resolution for pronominal and sortal anaphora, which are common in biomedical texts, is addressed. The resolution was achieved by employing UMLS ontology and SA/AO (subject-action/action-object) patterns mined from biomedical corpus. On the other hand, sortal anaphora for unknown words was tackled by using the headword collected from UMLS and the patterns mined from PubMed. The final set of antecedents finding was decided with a salience grading mechanism, which was tuned by a genetic algorithm at its best-input feature selection. Compared to previous approach on the same MEDLINE abstracts, the presented resolution was promising for its 92% F-Score in pronominal anaphora and 78% F-Score in sortal anaphora. |
