ABSTRACT
We compare the potential of two classes of linear and hierarchical models of discourse to determine co-reference links and resolve anaphors. The comparison uses a corpus of thirty texts, which were manually annotated for co-reference and discourse structure.

Recommendations
An empirical investigation of the relation between coreference and quotations: can a pronoun located in quotations find its referent?
DAARC'07: Proceedings of the 6th discourse anaphora and anaphor resolution conference on Anaphora: analysis, algorithms and applicationsMany reference resolution studies omit anaphoric forms found in quotations, assuming that they may need special handling as there is insufficient discourse context to determine the referent. This paper reports on an empirical study performed to evaluate ...
Discourse-level annotation for investigating information structure
DiscAnnotation '04: Proceedings of the 2004 ACL Workshop on Discourse AnnotationWe present discourse-level annotation of newspaper texts in German and English, as part of an ongoing project aimed at investigating information structure from a cross-linguistic perspective. Rather than annotating some specific notion of information ...
Focus-sensitive relation disambiguation for implicit discourse relation detection
We study implicit discourse relation detection, which is one of the most challenging tasks in the field of discourse analysis. We specialize in ambiguous implicit discourse relation, which is an imperceptible linguistic phenomenon and therefore difficult ...
