CenteringModel

Based on empirical evidence from a free word order language (German) we propose a fundamental revision of the principles guid- ing the ordering of discourse entities in the forward-looking centers …...

We extend the centering model for the resolution of intia-sentential anaphora and specify how to handle complex sentences. An empirical eval- uation indicates that the functional information structure guides the …...

We specify an algorithm that builds up a hi- erarchy of referential discourse segments from local centering data. The spatial extension and nesting of these discourse segments constrain the reachability …...

In this paper, we describe the creation of Chinese zero anaphora resolution rules by performing experiments. The rules were constructed based on the centering model. In the experiments, we selected …...
