As different genres are known to differ in their communicative properties and as previously, for Chinese, discourse relations have only been annotated over news text, we have created the TED-CDB dataset.

Abstract Because the 2020 ACL Lifetime Achievement Award presentation could not be done in person, we replaced the usual LTA talk with an interview between Professor Kathy McKeown (Columbia University) and the recipient, Bonnie Webber.

Implicit discourse relation recognition is a challenging task that involves identifying the sense or senses that hold between two adjacent spans of text, in the absence of an explicit connective between them.

While researchers show that their approaches work well on their newly introduced datasets, they rarely compare their methods to previous work or on the same datasets.

In the PDTB-3, several thousand implicit discourse relations were newly annotated \textit{within} individual sentences, adding to the over 15, 000 implicit relations annotated \textit{across} adjacent sentences in the PDTB-2.

Many NLG tasks such as summarization, dialogue response, or open domain question answering focus primarily on a source text in order to generate a target response.

Multi-sentence questions (MSQs) are sequences of questions connected by relations which, unlike sequences of standalone questions, need to be answered as a unit.

The PDTB-3 contains many more Implicit discourse relations than the previous PDTB-2.

As entities move from hearer-new (first introduction to the NYT audience) to hearer-old (common knowledge) status, we show empirically that the referring expressions along this trajectory depend on the type of the entity, and exhibit linguistic properties related to becoming common knowledge (e. g., shorter length, less use of appositives, more definiteness).

Our evaluation confirms that a sizable number of idioms in our test set are mistranslated (46. 1%), that literal translation error is a common error type, and that our blacklist method is effective at identifying literal translation errors.

Several corpora have been annotated with negation scope{---}the set of words whose meaning is negated by a cue like the word {``}not{''}{---}leading to the development of classifiers that detect negation scope with high accuracy.
