Evaluating Centering for Sentence Ordering in Two New Domains
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper builds on recent research investigating sentence ordering in text production by evaluating the Centering-based metrics of coherence employed by Karamanis et al. (2004) using the data of Barzilay and Lapata (2005). This is the first time that Centering is evaluated empirically as a sentence ordering constraint in several domains, verifying the results reported in Karamanis et al.

متن کاملDo Heavy-NP Shift Phenomenon and Constituent Ordering in English Cause Sentence Processing Difficulty for EFL Learners?
Heavy-NP shift occurs when speakers prefer placing lengthy or “heavy” noun phrase direct objects in the clause-final position within a sentence rather than in the post-verbal position. Two experiments were conducted in this study, and their results suggested that having a long noun phrase affected the ordering of constituents (the noun phrase and prepositional phrase) by advanced Iranian EFL le...
متن کاملEvaluating Centering for Information Ordering Using Corpora
In this article we discuss several metrics of coherence defined using centering theory and investigate the usefulness of such metrics for information ordering in automatic text generation. We estimate empirically which is the most promising metric and how useful this metric is using a general methodology applied on several corpora. Our main result is that the simplest metric (which relies exclu...
متن کاملITRI-00-08 An integrated framework for text planning and pronominalisation
This paper describes an implemented system which uses centering theory for planning of coherent texts and choice of referring expressions. We argue that text and sentence planning need to be driven in part by the goal of maintaining referential continuity and thereby facilitating pronoun resolution: obtaining a favourable ordering of clauses, and of arguments within clauses, is likely to increa...
