• Authors: Sara Shahmohammadi, Hadi Veisi, Ali Darzi
• Abstract summary: We present a discourse-annotated corpus for the Persian language built in the framework of Rhetorical Theory. Our corpus consists of 150 journalistic texts, each text having an average of around 400 words. Our text-level discourse is trained using gold segmentation and is built upon the DPLP discoursebank.

• Abstract: Over the past years, interest in discourse analysis and discourse parsing has steadily grown, and many discourse-annotated corpora and, as a result, discourse parsers have been built. In this paper, we present a discourse-annotated corpus for the Persian language built in the framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory as well as a discourse parser built upon the DPLP parser, an open-source discourse parser. Our corpus consists of 150 journalistic texts, each text having an average of around 400 words. Corpus texts were annotated using 18 discourse relations and based on the annotation guideline of the English RST Discourse Treebank corpus. Our text-level discourse parser is trained using gold segmentation and is built upon the DPLP discourse parser, which uses a large-margin transition-based approach to solve the problem of discourse parsing. The performance of our discourse parser in span (S), nuclearity (N) and relation (R) detection is around 78%, 64%, 44% respectively, in terms of F1 measure.

  We report on a set of experiments aiming at assessing the performance of two parsing paradigms on speech parsing. We perform this evaluation on a large treebank of spoken French, featuring realistic spontaneous conversations. Our findings show that (i) the graph based approach obtains better results across the board (ii) parsing directly from speech outperforms a pipeline approach, despite having 30% fewer parameters.

  SpeechAlign is a framework designed to evaluate the underexplored field of source-target alignment in speech models. To tackle the absence of suitable evaluation datasets, we introduce the Speech Gold Alignment dataset. We also introduce two novel metrics, Speech Alignment Error Rate (SAER) and Time-weighted Speech Alignment Error Rate (TW-SAER)

  We propose enhancing dialogue disentanglement by taking full advantage of the dialogue discourse characteristics. We develop a structure-aware framework to integrate the rich structural features for better modeling the conversational semantic context. Our work has great potential to facilitate broader multi-party multi-thread dialogue applications.

  We are exploring a novel discourse based framework to evaluate the coherence of video paragraphs. Central to our approach is the discourse representation of videos, which helps in modeling coherence of paragraphs conditioned on coherence of videos. Our experiment results have shown that the proposed framework evaluates coherence of video paragraphs significantly better than all the baseline methods.
