Beyond String Matching and Cue Phrases: Improving Efficiency and Coverage in Discourse Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
RASTA (Rhetorical Structure Theory Analyzer), a discourse analysis component within the Microsoft English Grammar, efficiently computes representations of the structure of written discourse using information available in syntactic and logical form analyses. RASTA heuristically scores the rhetorical relations that it hypothesizes, using those scores to guide it in producing more plausible discourse representations before less plausible ones. The heuristic scores also provide a genre-independent method for evaluating competing discourse analyses: the best discourse analyses are those constructed from the strongest hypotheses.

Classifying Cue Phrases in Text and Speech Using Machine Learning
Cue phrases may be used in a discourse sense to explicitly signal discourse structure, but also in a sen-tential sense to convey semantic rather than structural information. This paper explores the use of machine learning for classifying cue phrases as discourse or sen-tential. Two machine learning programs (cgrendel and C4.5) are used to induce classiication rules from sets of pre-classiied cu...
