Online event detection (OED) has seen a rise in the research community as it can provide quick identification of possible events happening at times in the world. Through these systems, potential events can be indicated well before they are reported by the news media, by grouping similar documents shared over social media by users. Most OED systems use textual similarities for this purpose. Similar documents, that may indicate a potential event, are further strengthened by the replies made by other users, thereby improving the potentiality of the group. However, these documents are at times unusable as independent documents, as they may replace previously appeared noun phrases with pronouns, leading OED systems to fail while grouping these replies to their suitable clusters. In this paper, a pronoun resolution system that tries to replace pronouns with relevant nouns over social media data is proposed. Results show significant improvement in performance using the proposed system. |
