Another reason why anaphora resolution is important for text summarisation is that the methods
used for retrieving relevant sentences for a summary perform more accurately if anaphoric
references to central concepts also are considered (Mitkov 2003, p. 276).
The emergence of knowledge-poor and corpus-based approaches for anaphora resolution
suggests that the representation of real-world knowledge not necessarily has to have the form of
a human-made system. Alternative approaches show that information available from the text to
be analyzed or from larger bodies of natural language text, can be used to give information that
resembles that of real-world knowledge. The following section explains this notion of using
contextual information to find intuitions about world knowledge.
