Because different corpora, languages, and frameworks use different guidelines, the shared task will promote the design of flexible methods for dealing with various guidelines, and will help to push forward the discussion of converging standards for discourse units. For datasets which have treebanks, we will evaluate segmentation in two different scenarios: with and without gold syntax. An automatically parsed version is provided for all corpora without a gold parse. </span></span></p><p> </p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;" dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">This year, the shared task will feature: </span></span></p><ul style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;"><li style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;list-style-type:disc;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">the inclusion of </span><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>more frameworks,</strong></span><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> with datasets from: RST / eRST, SDRT, PDTB, ISO 24617, and discourse dependencies</span></span></li><li style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;list-style-type:disc;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">the inclusion of </span><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>new corpora and new languages</strong></span><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, some of them kept a surprise!</span></span></li><li style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;list-style-type:disc;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">a </span><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>unified set of labels</strong></span><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> for the discourse relations, to make easier the evaluation across datasets</span></span></li><li style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;list-style-type:disc;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;" dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">a new constraint: </span><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>only one multilingual model should be submitted per task, and it should be small</strong></span><span style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">!
