Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the pronoun resolution process into multiple stages: feature extraction from context words and candidate substitute words, positive-example iteration processing, negative-example iteration processing, and probability calculation. This segmentation allows each stage to focus on specific aspects of the problem, improving overall accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity through modular processing steps.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from direct classification to a multi-dimensional processing approach by extracting features from context words and candidate substitute words separately, then iteratively processing positive and negative examples to calculate substitute probabilities. This dimensional expansion from simple classification to multi-stage feature processing enables more accurate pronoun resolution.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through iterative processing where positive-example iteration and negative-example iteration continuously refine the substitute probability calculations. The system uses the results from each iteration to adjust subsequent processing, effectively utilizing limited training data through feedback-driven optimization rather than relying on large quantities of data.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters dynamically during the iterative processing stages, adjusting the weightings and thresholds for positive and negative examples based on the results from previous iterations. This parameter adaptation allows the system to maximize the utilization of available training data by optimizing parameters according to the specific characteristics of the data at hand.
