Centering resonance analysis: a potential tool for IT program assessment
Pages 135 - 142
Abstract
Knowledge is organized according to the meaning of words that define the relationships established among the ideas that the words represent. Knowledge structures that humans have in their minds can be represented spatially as concept maps. Another means of representing mental schemas is with written text, such as a project report. Assuming that explicit textual artifacts are a reasonable representation of an individual's mental schema, then network text analyses can be used to summarize and represent the text. Centering resonance analysis is an approach for text analysis that uses the premises of centering theory, where a center is defined as a noun or noun phrase that links utterances to produce coherence in discourse. Through centering resonance analysis, word networks of nouns that represent main concepts can be constructed and influence and resonance statistics can be calculated. Capabilities of centering resonance analysis are presented as it is applied to examples from information systems education. Its applicability as a tool for program assessment is considered.

Japanese discourse and the process of centering
This paper has three aims: (1) to generalize a compulational account of the discourse process called CENTERING, (2) to apply this account to discourse processing in Japanese so that it can be used in computational systems for machine translation or ...
Centering in Japanese: a step towards better interpretation of pronouns and zero-pronouns
COLING '94: Proceedings of the 15th conference on Computational linguistics - Volume 2An extension of the notion of "centering" is desribed for interpreting zero pronouns and overt pronouns in naturally occurring Japanese text. In previous work, one zero-pronoun encodes the backward-looking center, with pronouns and other zero-pronouns ...
Functional centering: grounding referential coherence in information structure
Considering empirical evidence from a free-word-order language (German) we propose a revision of the principles guiding the ordering of discourse entities in the forward-looking center list within the centering model. We claim that grammatical role ...
