Semi-Supervised Tri-Training for Explicit Discourse Argument Expansion
This paper describes a novel application of semi-supervision for shallow discourse parsing. We use a neural approach for sequence tagging and focus on the extraction of explicit discourse arguments. First, additional unlabeled data is prepared for semi-supervised learning. From this data, weak annotations are generated in a first setting and later used in another setting to study performance differences. In our studies, we show an increase in the performance of our models that ranges between 2-10{\%} F1 score. Further, we give some insights to the generated discourse annotations and compare the developed additional relations with the training relations. We release this new dataset of explicit discourse arguments to enable the training of large statistical models.

Shallow Discourse Parsing with Maximum Entropy Model
In recent years, more research has been devoted to studying the subtask of the complete shallow discourse parsing, such as indentifying discourse connective and arguments of connective. There is a need to design a full d…
Discourse ParsingmodelExploring Discourse Structures for Argument Impact Classification
Discourse relations among arguments reveal logical structures of a debate conversation. However, no prior work has explicitly studied how the sequence of discourse relations influence a claim's impact. This paper empiric…
ClassificationSentenceExplicit, Implicit, and Scattered: Revisiting Event Extraction to Capture Complex Arguments
Prior works formulate the extraction of event-specific arguments as a span extraction problem, where event arguments are explicit -- i.e. assumed to be contiguous spans of text in a document. In this study, we revisit th…

The lack of open discourse corpus for Chinese brings limitations for many natural language processing tasks. In this work, we present the first open discourse treebank for Chinese, namely, the Discourse Treebank for Chin…
