The second method, adds knowledge from semantic dictionaries (e.g. Roget's Thesaurus in the work of (Morris and Hirst, 1991) or WordNet in the methods presented in (B~y and Elhadad, 1997) , (Hirst and St-Onge, 1998) ).

TACITU$ (Hobbs etal., 1993 ) is a successful abductive system when provided with extensive pra\u00a3~n~ic and linguistic knowledge.

The formal definition of relations that capture the coherence between textual assertious is based on the relations between the states they infer, their changes and their logical connections. States, changes and logical connections can be retrieved from pragmatic knowledge, accessible in lexical knowledge bases like WordNet. The complex structure of our cohesion chains help guiding these inferences. 0 For each textual unit, defined from the parse of the O text, axiomatic knowledge produced. The acquisition of axiomatic knowledge is cued by the concepts O and relations from the LSS portion of the cohesion O chain, and is mined from WordNet. CICERO, our system, adds to this knowledge axioms that feature the O characteristics of every coherence relation. CICER0's O job is to abduct the coherence structure of a text. To do so, it follows the steps: For the text illustrated in Section 3, this proce-O dure generates the coherence graph illustrated in @ Figure 2 . We exemplify the operation of CICERO on this text by presenting the way it derives the Elaboration relation between the textual unit from the first sentence that announces the nomination of Michael Goldstein (TU.) and the textual unit from the same sentence that deals with the succession of Charles Lazarus (TUb). l~st, CICERO generates the knowledge upon which the abductions can be performed. This knowledge is represented in axiomatic form, using the notation proposed in and previously implemented in TACITUS. In this formalism each text unit represents an event or a state, thus has a special variable e associated with it. Events are lexicalized by verbs, which are reaped into predicates verb (e,z,y) , where z represents the subject of the event, and y represents its object (in the case of intransitive verbs, y is not attached to a predicate, whereas in the case of bitransitive verbs, y is mapped\" into Yl and l~2).\"Moreover, predicates from the text are related to other predicates, derived from a knowledge base. These relations are captured in first order predicate calculus. For example, the pragmatic knowledge used for the derivation of the Elaboration relation between TUa and TUbis: TU,: assiqn( e~ , z~ ) In the next step, ~!1 coherence relations are hypothesized, and the cost of their abduction is obtained. The appendix lists the LISP function created on the fly by CICERO that produces the abduction of the Elaboration function. Because of the computational expense, an intermediary Step simplifies the axiomatic knowledge. The appendix lists also the full abduciton and its cost. CICERO is a system still under development, and at present we did not evaluate the precision of its results.", |
