Automatic Discourse Segmentation: Review and Perspectives
This work is incremental, addressing the need for discourse segmentation tools in multilingual contexts, particularly for researchers in natural language processing.
The study reviewed two existing discourse segmenters for English and Portuguese and evaluated the feasibility of developing similar tools for Spanish, French, and African languages, without reporting specific results or numbers.
Multilingual discourse parsing is a very prominent research topic. The first stage for discourse parsing is discourse segmentation. The study reported in this article addresses a review of two on-line available discourse segmenters (for English and Portuguese). We evaluate the possibility of developing similar discourse segmenters for Spanish, French and African languages.
