Read the following sentence for once:
"Using a knowledge poor approach (explicit
information from the text rather than implicit world
knowledge)the study investigates to what extent
syntactic and semantic constraints can be used to
resolve anaphora.
Since there has an article in "Using a knowledge.....",it is sure that there has a noun. But I am confused to identify noun and adjective from this three words (knowledge poor approach ). Will you explain me which and how one is acting as a noun another is adjective?
What has been meant by "knowledge poor"/"poor approach"?

Nouns can be followed by 'rich' or 'poor' to create a compund adjective. Often a hyphen is used - a knowledge-poor approach is an approach which contains little knowledge whereas a knowledge-rich approach is one containing much knowledge.
