Dear Group, I am looking at a readymade tool to resolve anaphora, and I am looking a Python based one. I checked NLTK. It has DRT parser. But I do not like that. In other parsers you have to insert grammar. But I am looking for a completely built in.

If anyone can kindly suggest.

Regards, Subhabrata.

If a Jython interface is acceptable to you, you can consider any of the Java-based software too.

Are you looking for a syntactic parser, or a co-reference resolution toolkit?

One Answer:

You could look at ConceptNet. It is also avalable through pypi. I have never used it, so I can not verify the claims but it is described as:

ConceptNet is a freely available commonsense knowledgebase and natural-language-processing toolkit which supports many practical textual-reasoning tasks over real-world documents right out-of-the-box (without additional statistical training) including

  • topic-jisting (e.g. a news article containing the concepts, “gun,” “convenience store,” “demand money” and “make getaway” might suggest the topics “robbery” and “crime”),
  • affect-sensing (e.g. this email is sad and angry),
  • analogy-making (e.g. “scissors,” “razor,” “nail clipper,” and “sword” are perhaps like a “knife” because they are all “sharp,” and can be used to “cut something”),
  • text summarization
  • contextual expansion
  • causal projection
  • cold document classification
  • and other context-oriented inferences

The ConceptNet knowledgebase is a semantic network presently available in two versions: concise (200,000 assertions) and full (1.6 million assertions). Commonsense knowledge in ConceptNet encompasses the spatial, physical, social, temporal, and psychological aspects of everyday life. Whereas similar large-scale semantic knowledgebases like Cyc and WordNet are carefully handcrafted, ConceptNet is generated automatically from the 700,000 sentences of the Open Mind Common Sense Project – a World Wide Web based collaboration with over 14,000 authors.
