Call for Interest: DISRPT 2025 - Shared Task on Discourse Relation Parsing and 
Treebanking 
 
Call for expression of interest: DISRPT 2025 - Shared Task on Discourse 
Relation Parsing and Treebanking In conjunction with CODI-CRAC & EMNLP 2025 - 
Suzhou, China, Nov. 5-9.
 
This year, we are organizing the fourth edition of the DISRPT shared task on 
discourse processing across formalisms, for a variety of languages and genres, 
with three subtasks:
 
* Task 1: discourse segmentation
* Task 2: connective identification
* Task 3: relation classification
 
We will provide training, development and test datasets from all available 
languages in RST / eRST, SDRT, PDTB, ISO 24617, and discourse dependencies, 
using a uniform format. 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. 
 
This year, the shared task will feature: 
 * the inclusion of more frameworks, with datasets from: RST / eRST, SDRT, 
PDTB, ISO 24617, and discourse dependencies * the inclusion of new corpora and 
new languages, some of them kept a surprise! * a unified set of labels for the 
discourse relations, to make easier the evaluation across datasets * a new 
constraint: only one multilingual model should be submitted per task, and it 
should be small! This will make our replication work easier, but more 
importantly, it will simplify using such a model and test the robustness of 
your solution! 
 
At this time we are calling for expressions of interest to participate.
