We present a linguistically-motivated technique for the recognition and grouping of simplex noun phrases (SNPs) called LinkIT. Our system has two key features: (1) we efficiently gather minimal NPs, i.e. SNPs, as precisely and linguistically defined and motivated in our paper ; (2) we apply a refined set of postprocessing rules to these SNPs to link them within a document. The identification of...
