| Abstract | Discourse phenomena play a major role in text processing tasks. However, so farrelatively little study has been devoted to the relevance of discoursephenomena for inference. Therefore, an experimental study was carried out toassess the relevance of anaphora and coreference for Textual Entailment (TE), aprominent inference framework. First, the annotation of anaphoric andcoreferential links in the RTE-5 Search data set was performed according to aspecifically designed annotation scheme. As a result, a new data set wascreated where all anaphora and coreference instances in the entailing sentenceswhich are relevant to the entailment judgment are solved and annotated.. Aby-product of the annotation is a new “augmented” data set, where all thereferring expressions which need to be resolved in the entailing sentences arereplaced by explicit expressions. Starting from the final output of theannotation, the actual impact of discourse phenomena on inference engines wasinvestigated, identifying the kind of operations that the systems need to applyto address discourse phenomena and trying to find direct mappings between theseoperation and annotation types. |
