Abstract
Verbs are sometimes omitted in Japanese sentences. It is necessary to recover omitted verbs for purposes of language understanding, machine translation, and conversational processing. This paper describes a practical way to recover omitted verbs by using surface expressions and examples. We experimented the resolution of verb ellipses by using this information, and obtained a recall rate of 73% and a precision rate of 66% on test sentences.
