Fused Head constructions are noun phrases in which the head noun is missing and is said to be “fused” with its dependent modifier.
This missing information is implicit and is important for sentence understanding. The missing heads are easily filled in by humans,
but pose a challenge for computational models.
For example, in the sentence:
"I bought 5 apples but got only 4.", 4 is a Fused-Head, and the missing head is
apples,
which appear earlier in the sentence.
Our system identifies and attempts to resolve these cases.
