Global Inference for Bridging Anaphora Resolution

Yufang Hou, Katja Markert and Michael Strube

We present the first work on antecedent selection for bridging resolution without restrictions on anaphor or relation types. Our model integrates global constraints on top of a rich local feature set in the framework of Markov logic networks. The global model improves over the local one and both strongly outperform a reimplementation of prior work.
