This paper presents a predicate-argument structure analysis that simultaneously conducts zero-anaphora resolution. By adding noun phrases as candidate arguments that are not only in the sentence of the target predicate but also outside of the sentence, our analyzer identifies arguments regardless of whether they appear in the sentence or not. Because we adopt discriminative models based on maximum entropy for argument identification, we can easily add new features. We add language model scores as well as contextual features. We also use contextual information to restrict candidate arguments.
REF proposed a predicate-argument structure analysis model based on a log-linear model that simultaneously conducts zero endophora resolution.
