Nowadays there is a growing research activity centred in automated processing of texts on electronic form. One of the most common problems in this field is coreference resolution, i.e. the way of knowing when, in one or more texts, different descriptions refer to the same entity. A full co-reference resolution is difficult to achieve and too computationally demanding; moreover, in many applications it is enough to group the majority of coreferential expressions (expressions with the same referent) by means of a partial analysis. Our research is focused in coreference resolution restricted to proper names, and we part from the definition of a new relation called "replicancia". Though replicancia relation does not coincide extensionally nor intensionally with identity, attending to the tests we have carried out, the error produced when we take the replicantes as co-referents is admissible in those applications which need systems where a very high speed of processing takes priority.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
