ANAPHORA RESOLUTION- HOBBS ALGORITHM

 Hobbs Algorithm is one of the technique used for Pronoun Resolution. But what is
Pronoun Resolution?
 Let’s understand this with an example.
 You all maybe familiar with this nursery rhyme. Read the text carefully.

 Now, the question is: To whom the pronoun ‘his’ refers to ??


 Well to answer this, we as a human can easily relate that the word ‘his’ refers to Jack and
not to the Jill, hill or the crown.
 But do you think is this task easy for computers as well?
 The answer to this is ‘NO’. Guess why 😐 ?
 Because computers lack Common sense.
 Hobbs algorithm is
one of the several
approaches for pronoun
resolution.
 The algorithm is mainly
based on the syntactic
parse tree of the
sentences.
