Summarizing and referring: towards cohesive extracts

Published:16 September 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper we propose and evaluate a system for summary post-edition, which aims at replacing referential expressions, trying to avoid referencial cohesion problems. To propose expressions that best represent the evoked entity, the system uses knowledge about coreference chains. We evaluate the system both with knowledge provided by manual and automatic annotation of coreference chains.
