Replication and Generalization of PRECISE
This report describes an initial replication study of the PRECISE system and
develops a clearer, more formal description of the approach. Based on our
evaluation, we conclude that the PRECISE results do not fully replicate.
However the formalization developed here suggests a road map to further enhance
and extend the approach pioneered by PRECISE.
After a long, productive discussion with Ana-Maria Popescu (one of the
authors of PRECISE) we got more clarity on the PRECISE approach and how the
lexicon was authored for the GEO evaluation. Based on this we built a more
direct implementation over a repaired formalism. Although our new evaluation is
not yet complete, it is clear that the system is performing much better now. We
will continue developing our ideas and implementation and generate a future
report/publication that more accurately evaluates PRECISE like approaches
