We are annotating a corpus with information relevant to discourse entity realization, and especially the information needed to decide which type of NP to use. The corpus is being used to study correlations between NP type and certain semantic or discourse features, to evaluate hand-coded algorithms, and to train statistical models. We report on the development of our annotation scheme, the problems we have encountered, and the results obtained so far.

We report on the current proposal concerning the type of `coreference' annotation to be supported by the MATE workbench, motivating our proposal in relation to previous proposals in this area.

(ps)

We are studying the feasibility of annotating a corpus with information relevant to NP generation - specifically, the information needed to decide which type of NP to use. Such a corpus might be used just to study correlations between NP type and certain semantic or discourse features, or to train statistical models. We report on the development of our annotation scheme, the problems we have encountered, and the results obtained so far.

We report preliminary results on training a statistical model of the task of {\NP} type determination. We explain our characterization of the task, discuss how our corpus was annotated, and present our preliminary results, discussing some problems raised by this work.
