Abstract
An approach is provided to resolve anaphors between posts, or threads, in a threaded discussion, for example an online forum. The approach analyzes a number of posts that are included in threads of an online forum. During the analysis, the approach identifies terms in parent posts, detects anaphors in child posts that reference the terms in the parent posts, and resolves the anaphor found in the child post with the term. The parent post with the identified term and the child post with the resolved anaphor are then stored in the memory for use by information handling systems, such as question answering (QA) systems.
