Abstract: Sentence ordering is the task of arranging the sentences of a given text in
the correct order. Recent work using deep neural networks for this task has
framed it as a sequence prediction problem. In this paper, we propose a new
framing of this task as a constraint solving problem and introduce a new
technique to solve it. Additionally, we propose a human evaluation for this
task. The results on both automatic and human metrics across four different
datasets show that this new technique is better at capturing coherence in
documents.
