| Challenge: | Existing shallow discourse parsing systems focus on the Wall Street Journal corpus, but the data is limited to the news domain and is 35 years old. |
| Approach: | They propose to use the Wall Street Journal corpus as a benchmark for PDTB-style shallow discourse parsing. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is compatible with PDTB, but suffers from degradation out-of-domain. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a corpus-based cross-linguistic investigation into the lexical semantics of adpositions is conducted . a significant amount of ambiguity and flexibility in their meanings are present in a variety of languages . |
| Approach: | They conduct a corpus-based corpus analysis of adpositions using SNACS . they find distributional differences in a language's adequacy and disambiguation performance . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is suited for analyzing adpositions across languages . it provides a framework for a wide-coverage corpus annotation of high-level senses . |
