Multitask Learning for Class-Imbalanced Discourse Classification
Small class-imbalanced datasets, common in many high-level semantic tasks like discourse analysis, present a particular challenge to current deep-learning architectures. In this work, we perform an extensive analysis on sentence-level classification approaches for the News Discourse dataset, one of the largest high-level semantic discourse datasets recently published. We show that a multitask approach can improve 7% Micro F1-score upon current state-of-the-art benchmarks, due in part to label corrections across tasks, which improve performance for underrepresented classes. We also offer a comparative review of additional techniques proposed to address resource-poor problems in NLP, and show that none of these approaches can improve classification accuracy in such a setting.

Multitask Semi-Supervised Learning for Class-Imbalanced Discourse Classification
As labeling schemas evolve over time, small differences can render datasets following older schemas unusable. This prevents researchers from building on top of previous annotation work and results in the existence, in di…

Imbalanced data commonly exists in real world, espacially in sentiment-related corpus, making it difficult to train a classifier to distinguish latent sentiment in text data. We observe that humans often express transiti…

Discourse relations are typically modeled as a discrete class that characterizes the relation between segments of text (e.g. causal explanations, expansions). However, such predefined discrete classes limits the universe…
