Automatic learning of discourse relations in Swedish using cue phrases
(2010) 7th International Conference on NLP, IceTAL 2010 6233. p.179-184- Abstract
- This paper describes experiments to extract discourse relations holding between two text spans in Swedish. We considered three relation types: cause-explanation-evidence (CEV), contrast, and elaboration and we extracted word pairs eliciting these relations. We determined a list of Swedish cue phrases marking explicitly the relations and we learned the word pairs automatically from a corpus of 60 million words. We evaluated the method by building two-way classifiers and we obtained the results: Contrast vs. Other 67.9%, CEV vs. Other 57.7%, and Elaboration vs. Other 52.2%.
The conclusion is that this technique, possibly with improvements or modifications, seems usable to capture discourse relations in Swedish.
