At the UCREL / NLP group (https://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/) we’re excited to have Prof. Ruslan Mitkov<https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/mitkov/> with us on Wednesday 24th January 13:00 – 14:00 (UTC/GMT) in our next UCREL corpus research seminar which you can join online via the Teams link below. Ruslan will present an extended version of his recent talk from ICON2023:
Are rule-based approaches a thing of the past? The case of anaphora resolution. Ruslan Mitkov https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/mitkov/ Abstract: In this talk I shall present the results of a study which evaluates and compares new variants of a popular rule-based anaphora resolution algorithm (Mitkov 1998, 2002) with the original version. We seek to establish whether configurations that benefit from Deep Learning, LLMs and eye-tracking data (always) outperform the original rule-based algorithm. The results of this study suggest that while algorithms based in Deep Learning and LLMs usually perform better than rule-based ones, this is not always the case, and we argue that rule-based approaches still have a place in today’s research.
