Abstract

In this paper we examine the benefit of performing named entity recognition and co-reference resolution to a benchmark used for text segmentation. The aim here is to examine whether the incorporation of such information enhances the performance of text segmentation algorithms. The evaluation using three well known text segmentation algorithms leads to the conclusion that, the benefit highly depends on the segment's topic, the number of named entity instances appearing in it, as well as the segment's length.
