Aggregated Word Pair Features for Implicit Discourse Relation Disambiguation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a reformulation of the word pair features typically used for the task of disambiguating implicit relations in the Penn Discourse Treebank. Our word pair features achieve significantly higher performance than the previous formulation when evaluated without additional features. In addition, we present results for a full system using additional features which achieves close to state of the art performance without resorting to gold syntactic parses or to context outside the relation.

Towards a discourse relation-aware approach for Chinese-English machine translation
Translation of discourse relations is one of the recent efforts of incorporating discourse information to statistical machine translation (SMT). While existing works focus on disambiguation of ambiguous discourse connectives, or transformation of discourse trees, only explicit discourse relations are tackled. A greater challenge exists in machine translation of Chinese, since implicit discourse...
متن کاملComparing Word Representations for Implicit Discourse Relation Classification
This paper presents a detailed comparative framework for assessing the usefulness of unsupervised word representations for identifying so-called implicit discourse relations. Specifically, we compare standard one-hot word pair representations against low-dimensional ones based on Brown clusters and word embeddings. We also consider various word vector combination schemes for deriving discourse ...
متن کاملAutomatic Disambiguation of French Discourse Connectives
Discourse connectives (e.g. however, because) are terms that can explicitly convey a discourse relation within a text. While discourse connectives have been shown to be an effective clue to automatically identify discourse relations, they are not always used to convey such relations, thus they should first be disambiguated between discourse-usage and non-discourse-usage. In this paper, we inves...
متن کاملDiscourse Relation Recognition by Comparing Various Units of Sentence Expression with Recursive Neural Network
We propose a method for implicit discourse relation recognition using a recursive neural network (RNN). Many previous studies have used the word-pair feature to compare the meaning of two sentences for implicit discourse relation recognition. Our proposed method differs in that we use various-sized sentence expression units and compare the meaning of the expressions between two sentences by con...
متن کاملReducing Sparsity Improves the Recognition of Implicit Discourse Relations
The earliest work on automatic detection of implicit discourse relations relied on lexical features. More recently, researchers have demonstrated that syntactic features are superior to lexical features for the task. In this paper we re-examine the two classes of state of the art representations: syntactic production rules and word pair features. In particular, we focus on the need to reduce sp...
