Coreference-inspired Coherence Modeling

چکیده
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 tasks, have ignored these kinds of information. We apply a discourse-new classifier and pronoun coreference algorithm to the information ordering task, and show significant improvements in performance over the entity grid, a popular model of local coherence.

Using domain knowledge and domain-inspired discourse model for coreference resolution for clinical narratives
OBJECTIVE This paper presents a coreference resolution system for clinical narratives. Coreference resolution aims at clustering all mentions in a single document to coherent entities. MATERIALS AND METHODS A knowledge-intensive approach for coreference resolution is employed. The domain knowledge used includes several domain-specific lists, a knowledge intensive mention parsing, and task inf...
متن کاملA Metric for Evaluating Discourse Coherence based on Coreference Resolution
We propose a simple and effective metric for automatically evaluating discourse coherence of a text using the outputs of a coreference resolution model. According to the idea that a writer tends to appropriately utilise coreference relations when writing a coherent text, we introduce a metric of discourse coherence based on automatically identified coreference relations. We empirically evaluate...
متن کاملExtending the Entity Grid with Entity-Speci c Features
We extend the popular entity grid representation for local coherence modeling. The grid abstracts away information about the entities it models; we add discourse prominence, named entity type and coreference features to distinguish between important and unimportant entities. We improve the best result for WSJ document discrimination by 6%.

متن کاملBeyond Identity Coreference: Contrasting Indicators of Textual Coherence in English and German
This paper focuses on the interaction of chains of coreference identity with other types of relations, comparing English and German data sets in terms of language, mode (written vs. spoken) and register. We first describe the types of coreference and the chain features analysed as indicators of textual coherence and topic continuity. After sketching the feature categories under analysis and the...
