ZPR2: Joint Zero Pronoun Recovery and Resolution using Multi-Task Learning and BERT

ACL 2020  ·  Linfeng Song, Kun Xu, Yue Zhang, Jianshu Chen, Dong Yu ·

Zero pronoun recovery and resolution aim at recovering the dropped pronoun and pointing out its anaphoric mentions, respectively. We propose to better explore their interaction by solving both tasks together, while the previous work treats them separately. For zero pronoun resolution, we study this task in a more realistic setting, where no parsing trees or only automatic trees are available, while most previous work assumes gold trees. Experiments on two benchmarks show that joint modeling significantly outperforms our baseline that already beats the previous state of the arts.
