While previous work significantly improves the performance of RST discourse parsing, they are not readily applicable to practical use cases: (1) EDU segmentation is not integrated into most existing tree parsing frameworks, thus it is not straightforward to apply such models on newly-coming data.

"text": "Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) (Mann and Thompson, 1988) is one of the predominant theories for discourse analysis, where a document is represented by a constituency tree with discourserelated annotation. As illustrated in Figure 1 , the paragraph is split to segments named Elementary Discourse Units (EDUs), as the leaf nodes of the tree, and they are further connected by rhetorical relations (e.g., Elaboration, Attribution) to form larger text spans until the entire document is included. The spans are further categorized to Nucleus (the core part) or Satellite (the subordinate part) based on their relative importance in the rhetorical relations. Thus, document-level RST discourse parsing consists of four sub-tasks: EDU segmentation, tree structure construction, nuclearity determination, and relation classification. Since discourse parsing provides structural information of the narrative flow, downstream natural language processing applications, such as reading comprehension (Gao et al., 2020) , sentiment analysis (Bhatia et al., 2015) , and text summarization (Liu and Chen, 2019) , can benefit from incorporating semantic-related information.",

"text": "RST discourse parsing has been an active research area, especially since neural approaches and large-scale pre-trained language models were introduced. On the test set of the English RST benchmark (Carlson et al., 2002) , the performance of automatic parsing is approaching that of human annotators. However, compared with other offthe-shelf text processing applications like machine translation, RST parsers are still not readily applicable to massive and diverse samples due to the following challenges: (1) Most parsers take EDU segmentation as a pre-requisite data preparation step, and only conduct evaluations on samples with gold EDU segmentation. Thus it is not straightforward to utilize them to parse raw documents.",

The Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) (Mann and Thompson, 1988) and the Penn Discourse TreeBank (PDTB) (Prasad et al., 2008) are the two most prominent theories of discourse analysis, where they are at doc-ument level and sentence level respectively. The structure-aware document analysis has shown to be useful for downstream natural language processing tasks, such as sentiment analysis (Bhatia et al., 2015) and reading comprehension (Gao et al., 2020) . Many studies focused on developing automatic computational solutions for discourse parsing. Statistical approaches utilized various linguistic characteristics such as N -gram and lexical features, syntactic and organizational features (Sagae, 2009; Hernault et al., 2010; Li et al., 2014; Heilman and Sagae, 2015) , and had obtained substantial improvement on the English RST-DT benchmark (Carlson et al., 2002) . Neural networks have been making inroads into discourse analysis frameworks, such as attention-based hierarchical encoding (Li et al., 2016) and integrating neural-based syntactic features into a transition-based parser (Yu et al., 2018) . explored encoderdecoder neural architectures on sentence-level discourse analysis, with a top-down parsing procedure.

"text": "In most previous work on RST parsing, EDU segmentation is regarded as a separate data preprocessing step, and the test samples with gold segmentation are used for evaluation. However, in practical cases, gold EDU segmentation is unavailable. Thus in this section, we assess the proposed framework with the predicted segmentation, simulating the real-world scenario. We compare our model DMRST to the model without cross-translation augmentation (DMRST w/o Cross Trans.). Aside from the common metric RST Parseval (Marcu, 2000) used in many prior studies, we also report test results on the Original Parseval (Morey et al., 2017) . From the results shown in Table 5 , we observe that: (1) EDU segmentation performance of the two models are similar. This is likely because using lexical and syntactic information is sufficient to obtain a reasonable result. (2) For both metrics, our framework achieves overall better performance in all sub-tasks and languages, especially in the lower resource languages like Basque and Dutch. (3) Since the tree structure and nuclearity/relation classification are calculated on the EDU segments, their accuracy are affected significantly by the incorrect segment predictions. For instance, when gold segmentation is provided, DMRST outperforms DMRST w/o Cross Trans. at all fronts. However, the former produces slightly lower scores than the latter in Portuguese, due to its suboptimal segmentation accuracy (92.8 vs. 93.7) . This also emphasizes the importance of EDU segmentation in a successful end-to-end RST parsing system.",

For example, we assume that a small set of Portuguese articles is to be parsed, and we only have training samples from the other 5 languages (i.e., En, Es, De, Nl, and Eu). Then zero-shot inference is conducted on Portuguese. As shown in Table 7 , compared with full training (see Table 5 ), all the zero-shot evaluation scores drop significantly, especially on English, since the English corpus is the most resourceful and wellannotated RST treebank. Aside from English, the other 5 languages result in acceptable performance for zero-shot inference. With the cross-translation augmentation, the proposed multilingual discourse parser achieves higher scores, this is because (1) the text transformation helps language-level generalization, and (2) the mixed data have a larger domain coverage. For example, combining samples from Basque (science articles) with English (finance news) makes model perform better on Portuguese (science and news articles). This also suggests that the multilingual parser can be extended to other languages via cross-translation augmentation from existing treebanks of 6 languages.",
