ADROIT: Automatic Discourse Relation Organizer of Internet-based Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ADROIT system that we are developing allows automatic discourse analysis of information rich natural language texts extracted directly from the web. We use guidelines and relations of Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) to decompose texts into elementary segments and to perform the discourse parsing between them. In this paper, we present version 1.0 of ADROIT and focus on the noble technique of cue-phrase disambiguation and machine learning for identification and organization of discourse relations.

The automatic identification of discourse relations is still a challenging task in natural language processing. Discourse connectives, such as since or but, are the most informative cues to identify explicit relations; however discourse parsers typically use a closed inventory of such connectives. As a result, discourse relations signaled by markers outside these inventories (i.e. AltLexes) are...

متن کاملExploiting Discourse Relations between Sentences for Text Clustering
Over the years, the usage of discourse relations has been proven to enhance many applications such as text summarization, question answering and natural language generation. This paper proposes an approach that expands the benefit of discourse relations for natural language processing from a different aspect. We exploit the discourse relations existing between sentences to generate clusters of ...
