A Recurrent Neural Model with Attention for the Recognition of Chinese Implicit Discourse Relations
We introduce an attention-based Bi-LSTM for Chinese implicit discourse
relations and demonstrate that modeling argument pairs as a joint sequence can
outperform word order-agnostic approaches. Our model benefits from a partial
sampling scheme and is conceptually simple, yet achieves state-of-the-art
performance on the Chinese Discourse Treebank. We also visualize its attention
activity to illustrate the model's ability to selectively focus on the relevant
parts of an input sequence.Comment: To appear at ACL2017, code available at

Neural End-to-End Learning for Computational Argumentation Mining
We investigate neural techniques for end-to-end computational argumentation
mining (AM). We frame AM both as a token-based dependency parsing and as a
token-based sequence tagging problem, including a multi-task learning setup.
Contrary to models that operate on the argument component level, we find that
framing AM as dependency parsing leads to subpar performance results. In
contrast, less complex (local) tagging models based on BiLSTMs perform robustly
across classification scenarios, being able to catch long-range dependencies
inherent to the AM problem. Moreover, we find that jointly learning 'natural'
subtasks, in a multi-task learning setup, improves performance.Comment: To be published at ACL 201
