Classification of Discourse Coherence Relations: An Exploratory Study using Multiple Knowledge Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider the problem of identifying and classifying discourse coherence relations. We report initial results over the recently released Discourse GraphBank (Wolf and Gibson, 2005). Our approach considers, and determines the contributions of, a variety of syntactic and lexico-semantic features. We achieve 81% accuracy on the task of discourse relation type classification and 70% accuracy on relation identification.

In this ...
