(2) What information indicates the role of the Nikon Corp . for each Microelectronics Capability ? (3) Explain how your system captured the GRANULARITY information for &amp;quot;The company's latest stepper .&amp;quot; (4) I low does your system determine EQUIPMENT_TYPE for &amp;quot;the new stepper&amp;quot;? and for &amp;quot;the company's latest stepper&amp;quot; ?

3.1 Text
</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph position="0"/>
      <Paragraph position="2"/>
      <Paragraph position="4"> Article 0002 is interesting because the text can be interpreted in more than one way in determining the number of tic ups.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="5"> The key template lists only two tie-ups, as follows : a) between Toukyou Kaijou Kasai Hoken and Daiwa Shouken , b)between Nisshin Kasai Kaijou Hoken, Douwa Kasai Kaijou Hoken and Yamaichi Shouken .</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="6"> In the case of b) above, a &amp;quot;common sense&amp;quot; reading of the text would probably argue that separate tie-up agreements are planned between Nisshin Kasai and Yamaichi, and between Douwa Kasai and Yamaichi . However, there is no clear textual evidence to support this interpretation completely over the interpretation where all three companies tie u p together. Therefore, in the case of b) above, the analysts felt that the best interpretation was to instantiate a single tie up, since there is no explicit linguistic evidence in the text to indicate that these were separate tie-ups.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="7">  (1) How does your system determine whether there is a reportable tie-up ? (2) In Article 0002, how many tie-ups were found? What strategies are used to determine the number of tie-ups in Sentence 2? ENTITIES (3) How does your system determine the entities in a tie-up? (4) How many discourse entities were identified anywhere in the text, and how did the system determine which of thes e were reportable? (5) Explain any difficulties you had in identifying the following : a) the correct number of reportable entities b) the correct number of tie-ups (correct, for the sake of this walk-through allows BOTH interpretation s described in b) above, even though the key template does not .) c) the correct links between reportable entities and reportable tie-ups .</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph position="8"> (6) How does your system determine aliases for entities ? (7) What problems were there in detecting the alias for the ENTITY named Toukyou Kaijou Kasai Hoken? OTHER SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ARTICL E (8) Sentence 2 ends with a general statement about products developed in tie-ups between insurance companies an d securities companies. How would your system determine that this is a generic, not a specific reference ? (9) Discuss any specific analysis your system does to handle teens like &amp;quot;ryousha&amp;quot;, which appears in Sentence 2. How does your system deal with the usage of the particle &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; that precedes it ?</Paragraph>
