We present a novel practical algorithm that given a lattice basis b1, ..., bn finds in O(n exp 2 *(k/6) exp (k/4)) average time a shorter vector than b1 provided that b1 is (k/6) exp (n/(2k)) times longer than the length of the shortest, nonzero lattice vector. We assume that the given basis b1, ..., bn has an orthogonal basis that is typical for worst case lattice bases. The new reduction method samples short lattice vectors in high dimensional sublattices, it advances in sporadic big jumps. It decreases the approximation factor achievable in a given time by known methods to less than its fourth-th root. We further speed up the new method by the simple and the general birthday method. n2
Coreference-Based Summarization and Question Answering: a Case for High Precision Anaphor Resolution
(2003)
Approaches to Text Summarization and Question Answering are known to benefit from the availability of coreference information. Based on an analysis of its contributions, a more detailed look at coreference processing for these applications will be proposed: it should be considered as a task of anaphor resolution rather than coreference resolution. It will be further argued that high precision approaches to anaphor resolution optimally match the specific requirements. Three such approaches will be described and empirically evaluated, and the implications for Text Summarization and Question Answering will be discussed.
