초록

본 논문은 지역적 응집성을 모델링하는 중심화 이론을 이용하여 한국어 영형대명사의 지시해결에 접근한다. 중심화 이론은 영어 대명사의 해결을 위해 널리 사용되고 있지만, 일본어, 한국어 등의 언어에서 나타나는 영형대명사 해결에 중심화의 프레임워크를 적용하는 데에는 많은 어려움이 따른다. Grosz et al.의 중심화 이론은 지시적 표현들의 비조응적 사용을 고려하지 않으므로, 문서에 나타나는 비조응적 기능의 영형 대명사가 중심화 이론을 이용한 영형대명사의 선행사 식별에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 논문은 이를 위해 먼저 절 간의 결속 관계를 이용하여 영형대명사, 특히 영형주어의 문장 내 조응성을 결정하고, 다음으로 중심화의 순위를 이용하여 그 영형의 선행사를 식별하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 조응성 결정을 이용하는 제안한 방법이 이를 이용하지 않는 베이스라인 시스템보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper approaches the problem of resolving Korean zero pronouns using Centering Theory modeling local coherence. Centering Theory has been widely used to resolve English pronouns. However, it is much difficult to apply the centering framework for zero pronoun resolution in languages such as Japanese and Korean. Since in particular the use of non-anaphoric zero pronouns without explicit antecedents is not considered in the Centering Theory of Grosz et al., the presence of non-anaphoric cases negatively affects the performance of the resolution system based on Centering Theory. To overcome this, this paper presents a method which determines the intra-sentential anaphoricity of zero pronouns in subject position by using relationships between clauses, and then identifies antecedents of zero subjects. In our experiments, the proposed method outperforms the baseline method relying solely on Centering Theory.
