A Rule Based Approach to Discourse Parsing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an overview of recent developments in discourse theory and parsing under the Linguistic Discourse Model (LDM) framework, a semantic theory of discourse structure. We give a novel approach to the problem of discourse segmentation based on discourse semantics and sketch a limited but robust approach to symbolic discourse parsing based on syntactic, semantic and lexical rules. To demonstrate the utility of the system in a real application, we briefly describe the architecture of the PALSUMM system, a symbolic summarization system being developed at FX Palo Alto Laboratory that uses discourse structures constructed using the theory outlined to summarize written English prose texts. 1

Hybrid Approach to PDTB-styled Discourse Parsing for CoNLL-2015
This paper describes our end-to-end PDTB-styled discourse parser for the CoNLL-2015 shared task. We employed a machine learning-based approach to identify discourse relation between text spans for both explicit and implicit relations and employed a rule-based approach to extract arguments of the discourse relations. In particular, we focus on improving the implicit discourse relation identifica...
متن کاملA Minimalist Approach to Shallow Discourse Parsing and Implicit Relation Recognition
We describe a minimalist approach to shallow discourse parsing in the context of the CoNLL 2015 Shared Task.1 Our parser integrates a rule-based component for argument identification and datadriven models for the classification of explicit and implicit relations. We place special emphasis on the evaluation of implicit sense labeling, we present different feature sets and show that (i) word embe...
متن کاملHILDA: A Discourse Parser Using Support Vector Machine Classification
Discourse structures have a central role in several computational tasks, such as question–answering or dialogue generation. In particular, the framework of the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) offers a sound formalism for hierarchical text organization. In this article, we present HILDA, an implemented discourse parser based on RST and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification. SVM classifie...
متن کاملAn improved joint model: POS tagging and dependency parsing
Dependency parsing is a way of syntactic parsing and a natural language that automatically analyzes the dependency structure of sentences, and the input for each sentence creates a dependency graph. Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is a prerequisite for dependency parsing. Generally, dependency parsers do the POS tagging task along with dependency parsing in a pipeline mode. Unfortunately, in pipel...
متن کاملSentential Structure And Discourse Parsing
In this paper, we describe how the LIDAS System (Linguistic Discourse Analysis System), a discourse parser built as an implementation of the Unified Linguistic Discourse Model (U-LDM) uses information from sentential syntax and semantics along with lexical semantic information to build the Open Right Discourse Parse Tree (DPT) that serves as a representation of the structure of the discourse (P...
