Abstract summary: We propose a computational approach to the analysis of contrast and concession relations in the PDTB corpus. Our work sheds light on the extent to which lexical semantics contributes to signaling explicit and implicit discourse relations.

Abstract: The idea that discourse relations are construed through explicit content and shared, or implicit, knowledge between producer and interpreter is ubiquitous in discourse research and linguistics. However, the actual contribution of the lexical semantics of arguments is unclear. We propose a computational approach to the analysis of contrast and concession relations in the PDTB corpus. Our work sheds light on the extent to which lexical semantics contributes to signaling explicit and implicit discourse relations and clarifies the contribution of different parts of speech in both. This study contributes to bridging the gap between corpus linguistics and computational linguistics by proposing transparent and explainable models of discourse relations based on the synonymy and antonymy of their arguments.

The Problem of Alignment [1.2277343096128712]
Large Language Models produce sequences learned as statistical patterns from large corpora. After initial training models must be aligned with human values, prefer certain continuations over others. We examine this practice of structuration as a two-way interaction between users and models.

Regularized Conventions: Equilibrium Computation as a Model of Pragmatic Reasoning [72.21876989058858]
We present a model of pragmatic language understanding, where utterances are produced and understood by searching for regularized equilibria of signaling games. In this model speakers and listeners search for contextually appropriate utterance--meaning mappings that are both close to game-theoretically optimal conventions and close to a shared, ''default'' semantics.

Incorporating Annotator Uncertainty into Representations of Discourse Relations [12.110722011252681]
We find that dialogue context is a significant predictor of confidence scores. We show that weighting discourse relation representations with information about confidence and dialogue context coherently models our annotators' uncertainty about discourse relation labels.

The Acquisition of Semantic Relationships between words [0.0]
The study of semantic relationships has revealed a close connection between semantic relationships and the morphological characteristics of a language. By delving into the relationship between semantic relationships and language morphology, we can gain deeper insights into how the underlying structure of words contributes to the interpretation and comprehension of language.

Natural Language Decompositions of Implicit Content Enable Better Text Representations [56.85319224208865]
We introduce a method for the analysis of text that takes implicitly communicated content explicitly into account. We use a large language model to produce sets of propositions that are inferentially related to the text that has been observed. Our results suggest that modeling the meanings behind observed language, rather than the literal text alone, is a valuable direction for NLP.

Exploring Discourse Structures for Argument Impact Classification [48.909640432326654]
This paper empirically shows that the discourse relations between two arguments along the context path are essential factors for identifying the persuasive power of an argument. We propose DisCOC to inject and fuse the sentence-level structural information with contextualized features derived from large-scale language models.

Introducing Syntactic Structures into Target Opinion Word Extraction with Deep Learning [89.64620296557177]
We propose to incorporate the syntactic structures of the sentences into the deep learning models for targeted opinion word extraction. We also introduce a novel regularization technique to improve the performance of the deep learning models. The proposed model is extensively analyzed and achieves the state-of-the-art performance on four benchmark datasets.
