the Pronoun Resolution Problem

The pronoun resolution problem involves determining what or who a pronoun (like "he," "she," "it," or "they") refers to in a sentence or conversation. For example, in "Jane told Mary she was leaving," it's unclear whether "she" refers to Jane or Mary. Making this connection correctly is essential for understanding meaning. This task is challenging because sentences often lack explicit clues, and context or prior knowledge is needed to identify the correct referent. Proper resolution ensures clear communication and accurate comprehension of texts.
