Incorporating Annotator Uncertainty into Representations of Discourse Relations

2023-08-14 · S. Magalí López Cortez, Cassandra L. Jacobs

Annotation of discourse relations is a known difficult task, especially for non-expert annotators. In this paper, we investigate novice annotators' uncertainty on the annotation of discourse relations on spoken conversational data. We find that dialogue context (single turn, pair of turns within speaker, and pair of turns across speakers) is a significant predictor of confidence scores. We compute distributed representations of discourse relations from co-occurrence statistics that incorporate information about confidence scores and dialogue context. We perform a hierarchical clustering analysis using these representations and show that weighting discourse relation representations with information about confidence and dialogue context coherently models our annotators' uncertainty about discourse relation labels.

The Role of Context and Uncertainty in Shallow Discourse Parsing

2022-10-01 · COLING 2022 10 · Katherine Atwell, Remi Choi, Junyi Jessy Li, Malihe Alikhani

Discourse parsing has proven to be useful for a number of NLP tasks that require complex reasoning. However, over a decade since the advent of the Penn Discourse Treebank, predicting implicit discourse relations in text …

The distribution of discourse relations within and across turns in spontaneous conversation

2023-07-07 · S. Magalí López Cortez, Cassandra L. Jacobs

Time pressure and topic negotiation may impose constraints on how people leverage discourse relations (DRs) in spontaneous conversational contexts. In this work, we adapt a system of DRs for written language to spontaneo…

2023-05-26 · Dongqi Liu, Yifan Wang, Vera Demberg

For text summarization, the role of discourse structure is pivotal in discerning the core content of a text. Regrettably, prior studies on incorporating Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) into transformer-based summarizat…

The PDTB Annotator is a tool for annotating and adjudicating discourse relations based on the annotation framework of the Penn Discourse TreeBank (PDTB). This demo describes the benefits of using the PDTB Annotator, give…

W-RST: Towards a Weighted RST-style Discourse Framework

Aiming for a better integration of data-driven and linguistically-inspired approaches, we explore whether RST Nuclearity, assigning a binary assessment of importance between text segments, can be replaced by automaticall…
