As mentioned in the introduction, our graph-cutbased approach to anaphoricity determination is motivated by Ng's (2004) and the ILP approach, aiming to combine the strengths of the two approaches.
like Ng (2004), our approach allows direct optimization of the desired coreference evaluation metric; and like the ILP approach, our approach co-ordinates anaphoricity decisions and coreference decisions by exploiting the pairwise probabilities provided by a coreference model.
