For that purpose, most past work (Appelt, 1985;Dale and Haddock, 1991;Dale, 1992; Dale and Reiter, 1995;Heeman and Hirst, 1995;Horacek, 1997;Krahmer and Theune, 2002;van Deemter, 2002;Krahmer et al., 2003) makes use of attributes of an intended object (the target) and binary relations between the target and others (distractors) to distinguish the target from distractors.
