We consider two tasks in which discourse structure seems useful and important: automatic verification of political statements, and ranking in question answering systems. We propose a neural network based approach to learn the match between pairs of discourse tree structures. To this end, the neural TreeLSTM model is modified to effectively encode discourse trees and DSNDM model based on it is suggested to analyze pairs of texts. In addition, the integration of the attention mechanism in the model is proposed. Moreover, different ranking approaches are investigated for the second task. In the paper, the comparison with state-of-the-art methods is given. Experiments illustrate that combination of neural networks and discourse structure in DSNDM is effective since it reaches top results in the assigned tasks. The evaluation also demonstrates that discourse analysis improves quality for the processing of longer texts.",

In this way, we investigate the utility of discourse analysis in the classification of pairs of texts: statements and their justifications.

It is important to answer factoid questions to provide some specific information and non-factoid ones to maintain a dialogue.

The best models presented in the FEVER competition (Thorne et al., 2018) allocate a stage of extracting supporting or refuting information and a classification stage.

The BERT model (Devlin et al., 2018) is frequently used as the main model of the approach (Nie et al., 2019; Alonso-Reina et al., 2019) . It is worth to emphasize that BERT cannot process long texts (the sequence is limited to 512 tokens). Therefore, it is necessary to extract the key information from the given justification paragraph.

The main goal of them is to encode tree-like structures, such as syntax and discourse trees. These models achieved superior results in the single text categorization tasks, but researchers did not investigate the value of discourse analysis for processing pairs of texts. However, this approach is promising for the assigned task since frequently not only unreliable texts have a similar discourse structure, but the discourse structure of texts refuting them is also similar.",

Apart from that, we will experiment with other hierarchical structures (e.g. syntactic) for deeper analysis of the importance of the RST-based structure in the proposed model.

Constitution, theres a little section in there that talks about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No court makes a legal decision based on the Declaration of Independence, Wilkes said. With his first speech as a bona fide candidate, Cain joins a long, bipartisan line of presidential hopefuls who have succumbed to foot -in -mouth disease. They include Cain's foe, President Barack Obama, who accidentally said there were 57 states during the 2008 campaign and U. S. Sen. John McCain, who said in an interview he was unsure how many houses he owned.
