• measured, no gain — Keep an abstract-referent list next to the entity list, with the survey's search order: the clause to the left in the same sentence, then the rightmost main clause of the previous sentence (and a subordinate clause to its right), then earlier main clauses. (Anaphora With Non-nominal Antecedents in Computational… · search order for the clause antecedent used by the deixis sieve (left clause, then previous main clause): 12% precision on GUM dev, −0.8 CoNLL with…)

Papers

1. Anaphora With Non-nominal Antecedents in Computational Linguistics: a Survey (2018) 1 idea kept
   A long survey of anaphors whose antecedent is not a noun phrase but a verb phrase, clause, sentence or longer stretch (discourse deixis, abstract anaphora, shell nouns such as this fact, the issue).
2. The Use of Parallel and Comparable Data for Analysis of Abstract Anaphora in German and English (2012)
   Abstract anaphora (a pronoun or a demonstrative noun phrase that refers to an event, fact or proposition) is a training target for anaphora resolution.
