A simple example of this can be seen in the screen shot, where the system uses This item for the first reference to the piece, and it for the next reference. Work on this component builds on the Centre's long tradition of work on anaphora, and also links to new projects being led by Massimo Poesio. Secondly, comparison generation is handled by a module contributed by Maria Milosavljevic. Comparisons offer a particularly natural way to help users build up a coherent view of a domain, irrespective of the order in which they approach it. Finally, our system links facts to generalisations, as in This item is in the organic style.
Organic jewels tend to be coarsely textured.
However, this item has smooth surfaces . Missing the generalisation would lead to This item is in the organic style. It has smooth surfaces , which would be particularly misleading. The work thus builds on our earlier work on connectives, at the same time as demanding an exploration of what isfor usthe new territory of generalisations. We have found, for instance, that it is vague quantifiers, like much and most which really matter here, whereas the logicians' favourites all and some are actually rather rare.
