Challenge: a novel application of semi-supervision for shallow discourse parsing is described . we focus on explicit discourse arguments, but we leave the sense selection aside .
Approach: They propose a semi-supervised approach for shallow discourse parsing using sequence tagging.
Outcome: The proposed approach improves performance by 2-10% in the first setting and by comparing the results with training relations.
