Abstract

We present an approach to generating referring expressions in context utilizing feature selection informed by psycholinguistic research. Features suggested by studies on pronoun interpretation were used to train a classifier system which determined the most appropriate selection from a list of possible references. This application demonstrates one way to help bridge the gap between computational and empirical means of reference generation.
