A Pilot Study on Dialogue-Level Dependency Parsing for Chinese (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Dialogue-level dependency parsing has received insufficient attention, especially for Chinese. |
| Approach: | They propose a signal-based method to transform seen syntactic dependencies into unseen ones between elementary discourse units (EDUs) they apply single-view and multi-view data selection to access reliable pseudo-labeled instances. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method transforms seen syntactic dependencies into unseen ones between elementary discourse units (EDUs) the proposed method also provides reliable pseudo-labeled instances. |

Discourse Parsing Enhanced by Discourse Dependence Perception (2022.aacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Top-down neural models still suffer from the top-down error propagation issue . previous studies gradually switch from feature-based machine learning methods to deep neural models . |
| Approach: | They propose a top-down framework that learns from discourse dependency and constituency parsing through one shared encoder and two independent decoders. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework learns from discourse dependency and constituency parsing through one shared encoder and two independent decoders on a Chinese discourse corpus. |
GCDT: A Chinese RST Treebank for Multigenre and Multilingual Discourse Parsing (2022.aacl-short)

| Challenge: | GCDT is the largest hierarchical discourse treebank for Mandarin Chinese in the framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). |
| Approach: | They propose to use a Chinese hierarchical discourse treebank to parse Mandarin Chinese using relation inventory and a multilingual training program. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset includes state-of-the-art scores for Chinese RST parsing and RST Parsing on the English GUM dataset, using cross-lingual training in Chinese and English with multilingual embeddings. |
Test Sets for Chinese Nonlocal Dependency Parsing (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Chinese is a language rich in nonlocal dependencies. |
| Approach: | They use trace annotations in the Penn Chinese Treebank to generate test sets of Chinese nonlocal dependencies which occur in different grammatical constructions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed test sets can be used to evaluate nonlocal dependency recovery in Chinese. |

| Challenge: | Understanding speaker intentions remains a challenge in NLP . a number of corpora annotated using theoretical frameworks of dialogue focus on utterance-level labeling of speaker intent, missing wider context, or the rhetorical structure of a dialogue. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate a corpus of 33 dialogues and over 9,000 utterance units using the Dependency Dialogue Acts framework. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus spans four genres of multi-party conversations from different modalities. |
Simpler but More Accurate Semantic Dependency Parsing (P18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Syntactic dependency parsing is the most popular method for automatically extracting low-level relationships between words in a sentence. |
| Approach: | They extend a syntactic dependency parser to train on and generate graph-structured representations that capture between-word relationships that are more closely related to the meaning of a sentence. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system beats the current state-of-the-art system by 0.6% and linguistically richer representations push the margin even higher. |
Building an Ellipsis-aware Chinese Dependency Treebank for Web Text (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | ellipsis is a common linguistic phenomenon that some words are left out as they are understood from the context, especially in oral utterance. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a Chinese dependency treebank to facilitate the parsing of web text . they propose to restore omissions and reserve contexts in the web text to improve dependency parsers . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework enables the parsing of web text from online microblogs. |
Improving Chinese Story Generation via Awareness of Syntactic Dependencies and Semantics (2022.aacl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current neural models for Chinese story generation struggle to generate high-quality long text narratives due to ambiguity in syntactically parsing the Chinese language. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that enhances the feature capturing mechanism by informing the generation model of dependencies between words and additionally augmenting the semantic representation learning through synonym denoising training. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art Chinese generation models on all evaluation metrics, showing that it enhances dependency and semantic representation learning. |
EDTC: A Corpus for Discourse-Level Topic Chain Parsing (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Discourse analysis is a fundamental part of natural language processing. |
| Approach: | They propose a discourse-level topic chain parsing system which can be automated . they propose lexical cohesion modeling instead of lexically measuring topic structure . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system is robust and reliable, and can provide high reliability and low confidence scores. |
Dependency Parsing for Spoken Dialog Systems (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Dependency parsing of conversational input can help to understand dialogs . currently available annotation schemes do not adapt well to spoken human-machine dialogs. |
| Approach: | They propose an annotation scheme that extends Universal Dependencies guidelines to spoken dialogs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed scheme disambiguates relationships between entities extracted from dialogs . it is better than existing models on public datasets and fine-tuned on ConvBank data . |
