Ambiguity in Explicit Discourse Connectives

no code implementations WS 2019 Bonnie Webber, Rashmi Prasad, Alan Lee

Discourse connectives are known to be subject to both usage and sense ambiguity, as has already been discussed in the literature.

Towards Full Text Shallow Discourse Relation Annotation: Experiments with Cross-Paragraph Implicit Relations in the PDTB

no code implementations WS 2017 Rashmi Prasad, Katherine Forbes Riley, Alan Lee

To this end, we address a significant gap in the inter-sentential discourse relations annotated in the Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB), namely the class of cross-paragraph implicit relations, which account for 30{\%} of inter-sentential relations in the corpus.

The PDTB Annotator is a tool for annotating and adjudicating discourse relations based on the annotation framework of the Penn Discourse TreeBank (PDTB).

Evaluation of Discourse Relation Annotation in the Hindi Discourse Relation Bank

no code implementations LREC 2012 Sudheer Kolachina, Rashmi Prasad, Dipti Misra Sharma, Aravind Joshi
