Abstrakt: Automatic pronoun resolution may improve the performance of natural language systems, such as translators, generators and summarizers. Difficulties may arise when there is more than one potential candidate for a referent. There has been little research on pronoun resolution for Portuguese, if compared to other languages, such as English. This paper describes a variant of Hobbs' syntactic algorithm for pronoun resolution in Portuguese. The system was evaluated comparing the results with the ones obtained with another syntactic algorithm for pronoun resolution handling, the Lappin and Leass' algorithm. The same Portuguese corpora were used and significant improvement was verified with Hobbs' algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
