RST Parsing from Scratch

This repository contains the source code of our paper RST Parsing from Scratch in NAACL 2021.

Requirements

python: 3.7
pytorch: 1.4
transformers: 3.0

Usage

To train a discourse parser:

./*_train.sh

To predict discourse tree:

./*_predict.sh

Data Format

For end-to-end parsing from scratch (no sentence guidance): we need to create the data with dummy edu_break and doc_structure. Refer to create_sample_dummy_format_data.py and dummy_format_data/sample_rawtext_data_format
For other parsing models: Refer to create_sample_dummy_format_data.py and dummy_format_data/sample_full_data_format
