Abstract

This paper reports on the results of the adjunct test performed by GE for the MUC-4 evaluation of text processing systems. In this test, we evaluated the effect of an object-oriented template design and associated matching conditions on the scores. The results indicate that the current MUC-4 "flat" templade design with cross-references closely approximates a true object-oriented design. However the object-oriented design allows for additional performance data to be calculated, facilitating diagnosis.
