Papers

A Dependency Perspective on RST Discourse Parsing and Evaluation (2018)
RST parsing had been treated as constituency parsing and scored with a simplified PARSEVAL on RST-DT, which counts one attachment decision several times and says little about the semantic arguments of relations.

Eight papers from 2013 to 2017 reported large gains in RST discourse parsing, with a claimed relative error reduction of 24 to 51%.
