Method Details

resolveAnaphor

public List<Resolution<N,E,T,B,TB,S,I,QI,R,A>> resolveAnaphor(String anaphor,
E definiteExpression,
S scope,
long timestamp,
int numberOfChunksToConsider)

Perform anaphora resolution on the AST implementation configured via the service provider interfaces.

TODO: Evaluate whether anaphora relations can be transformed into AST-based anaphora relations

TODO: Provide means to transform these anaphora relations into AST-based anaphora relations by performing complex AST manipulations / refactorings like introducing parameters to multiple methods ...

1. Find ways to create Anaphora relations
2. This might include a preparation step that performs complex AST transformations that prepare the referentialization of the anaphor

Parameters:

anaphor - The anaphor that is to be (re-)resolved.

definiteExpression - The expression that may function as anaphor in the anaphora relation to be generated by this method. If the anaphora relation is to be re-resolved, this can be a non-trivial expression. If the anaphora relation is to be resolved for the first time, this is typically a simple name and might as well be called a definite expression at this point.

scope - May be null if not required by the AST implementation configured via the service provider interfaces.

timestamp - the point in time at which the memory access occurs (in the format returned by System.currentTimeMillis()

numberOfChunksToConsider - The maximum number of chunks to consider as potential related expressions.

Returns:

TODO: Rework: A list of anaphors that the given definite expression can function as. The list is empty is the anaphor could not be resolved and will contain more than one element if the anaphor is ambiguous.
