TL;DR

GATE, a framework and graphical development environment which enables users to develop and deploy language engineering components and resources in a robust fashion, and can be used to develop applications and resources in multiple languages, based on its thorough Unicode support.

Abstract

In this paper we present GATE, a framework and graphical development environment which enables users to develop and deploy language engineering components and resources in a robust fashion. The GATE architecture has enabled us not only to develop a number of successful applications for various language processing tasks (such as Information Extraction), but also to build and annotate corpora and carry out evaluations on the applications generated. The framework can be used to develop applications and resources in multiple languages, based on its thorough Unicode support.

A lightweight approach to pronoun resolution in the case when the antecedent is named entity is presented and it is shown that even such shallow and inexpensive approaches provide acceptable performance for resolving the pronoun anaphors of named entities in texts.
