Accounting for Discourse Relations: Constituency and Dependency
نویسنده
چکیده
At the start of my career, I had the good fortune of working with Ron Kaplan on Bill Woods’ Lunar system (Woods et al., 1972). One day, in talking with Ron, I marvelled to him over the range of syntactic constructions I was able to implement in Lunar’s ATN grammar formalism. Ron replied was that you could implement anything in an ATN: the point was, rather, to identify the minimal machinery required for a task. This sensible advice I subsequently sought to follow, and in this paper for Ron’s festschrift, I try to apply it to understanding and comparing accounts of discourse relations.

Text-level Discourse Dependency Parsing
Previous researches on Text-level discourse parsing mainly made use of constituency structure to parse the whole document into one discourse tree. In this paper, we present the limitations of constituency based discourse parsing and first propose to use dependency structure to directly represent the relations between elementary discourse units (EDUs). The state-of-the-art dependency parsing tec...
متن کاملتبدیل خودکار درختبانک وابستگی فارسی به درختبانک سازهای
There are two major types of treebanks: dependency-based and constituency-based. Both of them have applications in natural language processing and computational linguistics. Several dependency treebanks have been developed for Persian. However, there is no available big size constituency treebank for this language. In this paper, we aim to propose an algorithm for automatic conversion of a depe...
متن کاملConverting Phrase Structures to Dependency Structures in Sanskrit
Two annotations schemes for presenting the parsed structures are prevalent viz. the constituency structure and the dependency structure. While the constituency trees mark the relations due to positions, the dependency relations mark the semantic dependencies. Free word order languages like Sanskrit pose more problems for constituency parses since the elements within a phrase are dislocated. In ...
متن کاملTypes Of Syntagmatic Grammatical Relations And Their Representation
The paper reviews the kinds of representation of syntagmatic grammatical relations typically empl~'ed in grammar models used in computational linguistics. Exemplars of dependencyonly, constituency-only and hybrid constituencydependency approaches will be considered. In a move away fi'om the much discussed question 'Constituency or dependency?', the purpose of the paper is to ask more radically:...
متن کاملTransition-Based Discourse Parsing with Multilayer Stack Long Short Term Memory
Discourse parsing aims to identify the relationship between different discourse units, where most previous works focus on recovering the constituency structure among discourse units with carefully designed features. In this paper, we propose to exploit Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) to properly represent discourse units, while using as few feature engineering as possible. Our transition based pa...
