Resolving <I>Other</I>-Anaphora. Ph.D. Thesis, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, 2003. abstract bibtex Reference resolution is a major component of any natural language system. In the past 30 years significant progress has been made in coreference resolution. However, there is more anaphora in texts than coreference. I present a computational treatment of other-anaphora, i.e., referential noun phrases (NPs) with non-pronominal heads modified by other or another:
