Call for Participation: DISRPT 2023 Shared Task on Discourse Relation Parsing and Treebanking
In conjunction with CODI 2023, ACL 2023 - 14 July 2023
This year, we are organizing DISRPT 2023 as a shared task on discourse processing across formalisms, for a variety of languages and genres. It is the third iteration of a cross-formalism shared task on discourse analysis, with three subtasks:
- Task 1: discourse segmentation
- Task 2: connective identification
- Task 3: relation classification
We will provide training, development and test datasets from all available languages in RST, SDRT, PDTB and Discourse Dependencies using a uniform format. Because different corpora, languages, and frameworks use different guidelines, the shared task will promote the design of flexible methods for dealing with various guidelines, and will help to push forward the discussion of converging standards for discourse units, discourse relations and discourse markers. For datasets which have treebanks, we will evaluate segmentation in two different scenarios: with and without gold syntax. An automatically parsed version is provided for all corpora without a gold parse.
