This paper describes the submission of the UIMA framework to the CoNLL-2015 shared task on shallow discourse parsing, and how it was used to develop the parser and to add machine learning functionality to the U IMA framework.
This paper describes our submission (kosseim15) to the CoNLL-2015 shared task on shallow discourse parsing. We used the UIMA framework to develop our parser and used ClearTK to add machine learning functionality to the UIMA framework. Overall, our parser achieves a result of 17.3 F1 on the identification of discourse relations on the blind CoNLL-2015 test set, ranking in sixth place.
