Neural Discourse Structure for Text Categorization

arXiv 1702.01829 ↗First posted 7 Feb 2017cs.CL cs.LGcited by 24

Not on the map. Why?

Abstract (arXiv)

We show that discourse structure, as defined by Rhetorical Structure Theory and provided by an existing discourse parser, benefits text categorization. Our approach uses a recursive neural network and a newly proposed attention mechanism to compute a representation of the text that focuses on salient content, from the perspective of both RST and the task. Experiments consider variants of the approach and illustrate its strengths and weaknesses.
