Discourse Relations and Conjoined VPs: Automated Sense Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sense classification of discourse relations is a sub-task of shallow discourse parsing. Discourse relations can occur both across sentences (inter-sentential) and within sentences (intra-sentential), and more than one discourse relation can hold between the same units. Using a newly available corpus of discourse-annotated intra-sentential conjoined verb phrases, we demonstrate a sequential classification system for their multi-label sense classification. We assess the importance of each feature used in the classification, the feature scope, and what is lost in moving from gold standard manual parses to the output of an off-the-shelf parser.

متن کاملRecognizing Implicit Discourse Relations through Abductive Reasoning with Large-scale Lexical Knowledge
Discourse relation recognition is the task of identifying the semantic relationships between textual units. Conventional approaches to discourse relation recognition exploit surface information and syntactic information as machine learning features. However, the performance of these models is severely limited for implicit discourse relation recognition. In this paper, we propose an abductive th...
متن کاملOur Sense of Identity: “Who am I?” Gender and Cultural Studies
Identity is seen as a cultural and social construct, which indicates how we have been embodied and how we might represent ourselves. The knowledge that identities are the outputs of discourses is a familiar characteristic of some societal concepts. Gender, as an identity or a sense of our identity we build for ourselves, rather than something we are born with, is a constructed cultural category...
