Evaluating Centering for Information Ordering using Corpora

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact NLIP Seminars .

In this talk, I will motivate the use of Centering-based metrics of coherence for information ordering in automatic text production and discusses how a wide range of such metrics can be defined on the basis of the existing Centering literature. Then, I will estimate empirically which is the most promising metric and how useful this metric is using a novel and general methodology applied on several corpora.

The main result is that the simplest metric (and most remote to Centering) sets a baseline that cannot be overtaken by other metrics which make use of more Centering-specific concepts. This simple, yet robust, baseline can be used by both text-to-text and concept-to-text practitioners for interim evaluation during system development.
