The results with this configuration were: • R = 0.75, P = 0.87, F = 0.80, for the training data (compared with R = 0.76, P = 0.88, F = 0.81) ; • R = 0.59, P = 0.83, F = 0.69, for the test data (compared with R = 0.62, P = 0.83, F = 0.71).
the results were about the same, although a slightly better performance was obtained when the tests to identify discourse-new descriptions were tried first.
