Entity versus Rhetorical Coherence for Information Ordering: Initial Experimentation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates whether the model of local rhetorical coherence suggested in Knott et al. (2001) can boost the performance of the Centering-based metrics of entity coherence employed by Karamanis et al. (2004) for the task of information ordering. Our results indicate that (a) the simplest metric continues to perform better than its competitors even when local rhetorical coherence is taken into account, and (b) this extra coherence constraint decreases its performance.

Supplementing Entity Coherence with Local Rhetorical Relations for Information Ordering
This paper investigates whether the model of local rhetorical coherence suggested in Knott et al. (2001) can boost the performance of the Centering-based metrics of entity coherence employed by Karamanis et al. (2004) for the task of information ordering. Rhetorical coherence is integrated into the way Centering’s basic data structures are derived from the annotated features of the GNOME corpus...
متن کاملCoreference-inspired Coherence Modeling
Research on coreference resolution and summarization has modeled the way entities are realized as concrete phrases in discourse. In particular there exist models of the noun phrase syntax used for discourse-new versus discourse-old referents, and models describing the likely distance between a pronoun and its antecedent. However, models of discourse coherence, as applied to information ordering...
متن کاملUsing Rhetorical Structure Theory and Entity Grids to Automatically Evaluate Local Coherence in Texts
This paper presents a joint model designed to measure local text coherence that uses Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) and entity grids. The purpose is to learn patterns of entity distribution in texts by considering entity transition sequences and organizational/discourse information using RST relations in order to create a predictive model that is able to distinguish coherent from incoherent ...
متن کاملAn Optimal Approach to Local and Global Text Coherence Evaluation Combining Entity-based, Graph-based and Entropy-based Approaches
Text coherence evaluation becomes a vital and lovely task in Natural Language Processing subfields, such as text summarization, question answering, text generation and machine translation. Existing methods like entity-based and graph-based models are engaging with nouns and noun phrases change role in sequential sentences within short part of a text. They even have limitations in global coheren...
متن کاملThe Multifaceted Organization Of Discourse
The organization of discourse is multifaceted. Theories that take a single perspective on discourse structure, examining for example only goal satisfaction or textual coherence or ignoring the context in which a text was generated, will fail to identify the full functional significance of the content and organization of text. The task of generating coherent text to meet some communicative inten...
