We discussed trying a simple approach to enable jSRE to propose cross-sentence relations.  Given a window parameterized by k, this approach will concatenate the current sentence +/- k sentences into a pseudo-sentence by removing terminal punctuation and adding a semi-colon, or the word "and", to join sentences together.  (May also need to lower-case the first word in the concatenated sentence?)
Then, entities that are candidates for a jSRE relation can be gathered from the entire pseudo-sentence instead of just the current sentence.  We are interested in comparing this approach to Yuan's cross-sentence relation extraction methods.
