Coreference chains are viewed as equivalence classes, and scoring counts links rather than individual pairwise decisions. Recall for a key chain is the number of links needed to connect it minus the number of… 2. **[Generating an Entailment Corpus from News Headlines](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/burger-2005-generating-entailment-corpus-news-headlines/)** *(2005 · 54 citations)* The Pascal RTE challenge supplied only 567 development pairs. That is too few for statistical models such as the MT-style alignment the MITRE authors wanted to apply to entailment. Their observation was that almost all TRUE RTE pairs are really partial paraphrases, and news headlines relate to their lead paragraphs… ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [John Aberdeen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/john-aberdeen/) - [Lynette Hirschman](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lynette-hirschman/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [ACL Workshop on Empirical Modeling of Semantic Equivalence and Entailment](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl-workshop-on-empirical-modeling-of-semantic-equivalence-and-entailment/): [ACL Workshop on Empirical Modeling of Semantic Equivalence and Entailment 2005](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl-workshop-on-empirical-modeling-of-semantic-equivalence-and-entailment/2005/) - [Message Understanding Conference (MUC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/muc/): [MUC 1995](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/muc/1995/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 387 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [187 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/john-burger/cited-by/).
