Recognizing Implicit Discourse Relations in the Penn Discourse Treebank
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an implicit discourse relation classifier in the Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB). Our classifier considers the context of the two arguments, word pair information, as well as the arguments’ internal constituent and dependency parses. Our results on the PDTB yields a significant 14.1% improvement over the baseline. In our error analysis, we discuss four challenges in recognizing implicit relations in the PDTB.

متن کاملThe Penn Discourse TreeBank as a Resource for Natural Language Generation
While many advances have been made in Natural Language Generation (NLG), the scope of the field has been somewhat restricted because of the lack of annotated corpora from which properties of texts can be automatically acquired and applied towards the development of generation systems. In this paper, we describe how the Penn Discourse TreeBank (PDTB) can serve as a valuable large scale annotated...
