CorrefSum: Referencial Cohesion Recovery in Extractive Summaries

  • Conference paper
Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language (PROPOR 2008)

Abstract

A common problem in extractive summaries is the occurrence of referential expressions which are of difficult interpretation. In this paper we propose and evaluate a system for summary post-edition, which aims at replacing referential expressions, trying to avoid problems of broken referential linkage. To propose expressions that best represent the evoked entity, the system uses knowledge about coreference chains.
