Overview of the University of Pennsylvania's TIPSTER project: University of Pennsylvania
Pages 151 - 161
Abstract
CAMP software has been used in a variety of areas, but at the end of TIPSTER it finishes as it started--as a coreference annotation system. The coreference output has been used to participate in MUC-6 and MUC-7, served as the foundation for three types of summarization engines and been input to a cross-document coreference system for names and events. This document focuses on the most successful of these application, a query sensitive summarization system and a cross-document coreference system.
