We present the first algorithm that computes optimal orderings of sentences into a locally coherent discourse. The algorithm runs very efficiently on a variety of coherence measur...

In this paper, we propose a generalization of Centering Theory (CT) (Grosz, Joshi, Weinstein 1995) called Veins Theory (VT), which extends the applicability of centering rules fro...
This paper provides a solution to discourse structure adaptation in the process of automatic hypermedia presentation generation. Existing approaches to discourse structure composit...
Near-term spoken language systems willlikely be limited in their interactive capabilities. To design them, we shall need to model how the presence or absence of speaker interactio...
We describe a generic framework for integrating various stochastic models of discourse coherence in a manner that takes advantage of their individual strengths. An integral part o...
