Predicting Discourse Trees from Transformer-based Neural Summarizers

Wen Xiao, Patrick Huber, Giuseppe Carenini

Previous work indicates that discourse information benefits summarization. In this paper, we explore whether this synergy between discourse and summarization is bidirectional, by i…

Unsupervised Learning of Discourse Structures using a Tree Autoencoder

Patrick Huber, Giuseppe Carenini

Discourse information, as postulated by popular discourse theories, such as RST and PDTB, has been shown to improve an increasing number of downstream NLP tasks, showing positive e…

Do We Really Need That Many Parameters In Transformer For Extractive Summarization? Discourse Can Help !

Wen Xiao, Patrick Huber, Giuseppe Carenini

The multi-head self-attention of popular transformer models is widely used within Natural Language Processing (NLP), including for the task of extractive summarization. With the go…

Unleashing the Power of Neural Discourse Parsers -- A Context and Structure Aware Approach Using Large Scale Pretraining

Grigorii Guz, Patrick Huber, Giuseppe Carenini

RST-based discourse parsing is an important NLP task with numerous downstream applications, such as summarization, machine translation and opinion mining. In this paper, we demonst…

From Sentiment Annotations to Sentiment Prediction through Discourse Augmentation

Patrick Huber, Giuseppe Carenini

Sentiment analysis, especially for long documents, plausibly requires methods capturing complex linguistics structures. To accommodate this, we propose a novel framework to exploit…

MEGA RST Discourse Treebanks with Structure and Nuclearity from Scalable Distant Sentiment Supervision

Patrick Huber, Giuseppe Carenini

The lack of large and diverse discourse treebanks hinders the application of data-driven approaches, such as deep-learning, to RST-style discourse parsing. In this work, we present…
