This article describes an implemented system which uses centering theory for planning of coherent
texts and choice of referring expressions. We argue that text and sentence planning need to be
driven in part by the goal of maintaining referential continuity and thereby facilitating pronoun
resolution: Obtaining a favorable ordering of clauses, and of arguments within clauses, is likely
to increase opportunities for nonambiguous pronoun use. Centering theory provides the basis for
such an integrated approach. Generating coherent texts according to centering theory is treated
as a constraint satisfaction problem. The well-known Rule 2 of centering theory is reformulated in
terms of a set of constraints—cohesion, salience, cheapness, and continuity—and we show sample
outputs obtained under a particular weighting of these constraints. This framework facilitates
detailed research into evaluation metrics and will therefore provide a productive research tool in
addition to the immediate practical benefit of improving the fluency and readability of generated
texts. The technique is generally applicable to natural language generation systems, which perform
hierarchical text structuring based on a theory of coherence relations with certain additional
assumptions.

Abstract
We present the second version of the Penn Discourse Treebank, PDTB-2.0, describing its lexically-grounded annotations of discourse
relations and their two abstract object arguments over the 1 million word Wall Street Journal corpus. We describe all aspects of the
annotation, including (a) the argument structure of discourse relations, (b) the sense annotation of the relations, and © the attribution
of discourse relations and each of their arguments. We list the differences between PDTB-1.0 and PDTB-2.0. We present representative
statistics for several aspects of the annotation in the corpus.
