SeCoRel: Multilingual Discourse Analysis in DISRPT 2025

Sobha Lalitha Devi, Pattabhi Rk Rao, Vijay Sundar Ram


Abstract
The work presented here describes our participation in DISRPT 2025 shared task in three tasks, Task1: Discourse Unit Segmentation across Formalisms, Task 2: Discourse Connective Identification across Languages and Task 3: Discourse Relation Classification across Formalisms. We have fine-tuned XLM-RoBERTa, a language model to address these three tasks. We have come up with one single multilingual language model for each task. Our system handles data in both the formats .conllu and .tok and different discourse formalisms. We have obtained encouraging results. The performance on test data in the three tasks is similar to the results obtained for the development data.
