To our surprise, the best-configured feedforward architecture outperforms LSTM-based model in most cases despite thorough tuning. Further, we compare our best feedforward system with competitive convolutional and recurrent networks and find that feedforward can actually be more effective.

Each discourse relation (e.g. causal or temporal) is grounded by a discourse connective (e.g. because or meanwhile) taking two text segments as argu-ments (Prasad et al., 2008) . Implicit discourse relations are those where discourse connectives are omitted from the text and yet the discourse relations still hold.",

In the absence of explicit discourse connectives, implicit discourse relations have to be inferred from their two arguments. Previous approaches on inferring implicit discourse relations have typically relied on features extracted from their two arguments. These features include the Cartesian products of the word tokens in the two arguments as well as features manually crafted from various lexicons such as verb classes and sentiment lexicons (Pitler et al., 2009; Rutherford and Xue, 2014) . These lexicons are used mainly to offset the data sparsity problem created by pairs of word tokens used directly as features.",

Previous work used four binary classification (Pitler et al., 2008; Rutherford and Xue, 2014) , 4-way coarse sense classification , and intermediate sense classification (Lin et al., 2009) . CoNLL Shared Task introduces a unified scheme for evaluation along with a new unseen test set in English in 2015 and in Chinese in 2016 (Xue et al., 2016) . We want to corrobo-rate this new evaluation scheme by running more benchmark results and providing the output under this evaluation scheme.

These hidden state vectors are then used in the same fashion as the sequential LSTM. The mathematical formulation is the same as Tai et al. (2015) . This model is similar to the recursive neural networks proposed by Ji and Eisenstein (2015) . Our model differs from their model in several ways. We use the LSTM networks instead of the \"vanilla\" RNN formula and expect better results due to less complication with vanishing and exploding gradients during training. Furthermore, our purpose is to compare the influence of the model structures. Therefore, we must use LSTM cells in both sequential and tree LSTM models for a fair and meaningful comparison. The more indepth comparison of our work and recursive neural network model by Ji and Eisenstein (2015) is provided in the discussion section.",

The annotation is done as another layer on the Penn Treebank on Wall Street Journal sections. Each relation consists of two spans of text that are minimally required to infer the relation, and the sense is organized hierarchically. The classification problem can be formulated in various ways based on the hierarchy. Previous work in this task has been done over three schemes of evaluation: top-level 4-way classification (Pitler et al., 2009) , second-level 11-way classification (Lin et al., 2009; Ji and Eisenstein, 2015) , and modified second-level classification introduced in the CoNLL 2015 Shared Task . We focus on the second-level 11-way classification because the labels are fine-grained enough to be useful for downstream tasks and also because the strongest neural network systems are tuned to this formulation. If an instance is annotated with two labels (\u223c3% of the data), we only use the first label. Partial labels, which constitute \u223c2% of the data, are excluded. Table 3 shows the distribution of labels in the training set (sections 2-21), development set (section 22), and test set (section 23).",

Moving from 50 units to 100 units trained on the same dataset, we do not observe much of a difference in performance in both architectures, but the sequential LSTM model beats the feedforward model in both settings (Table 3) . This suggests that only 50 dimensions are needed for the WSJ corpus. However, the trend reverses when we move to 300-dimensional word vectors trained on a much larger corpus. These results suggest an interaction between the lexical information encoded by word vectors and the structural information encoded by the model itself. Hidden layers, especially the first one, make a substantial impact on performance. This effect is observed across all architectures (Figure 3) . Strikingly, the improvement can be as high as 8% absolute when used with the feedforward model with small word vectors. We tried up to four hidden layers and found that the additional hidden layers yield diminishing-if not negative-returns. These effects are not an artifact of the training process as we have tuned the models quite extensively, although it might be the case that we do not have sufficient data to fit those extra parameters. Summation pooling is effective for both feedforward and LSTM models (Figure 2) . The word vectors we use have been claimed to have some additive properties (Mikolov et al., 2013b) , so summation pooling in this experiment supports this claim. Max pooling is only effective for LSTM, probably because the values in the word vector encode the abstract features of each word relative to each other. It can be trivially shown that if all of the vectors are multiplied by -1, then the results from max pooling will be totally different, but the word similarities remain the same. The memory cells and the state vectors in the LSTM models transform the original word vectors to work well the max pooling operation, but the feedforward net cannot transform the word vectors to work well with max pooling as it is not allowed to change the word vectors themselves.",

                "text": "Summing up vectors indeed works better than recurrent models. We provide further evidence for this claim in Section 5. Sequential and tree LSTM models might work better if we are given larger amount of data. We observe that LSTM models outperform the feedforward model when word vectors are smaller, so it is unlikely that we train the LSTMs incorrectly. It is more likely that we do not have enough annotated data to train a more powerful model such as LSTM. In previous work, LSTMs are applied to tasks with a lot of labeled data compared to mere 12,930 instances that we have (Vinyals et al., 2015; Chiu and Nichols, 2015; \u0130rsoy and Cardie, 2014) . Another explanation comes from the fact that the contextual information encoded in the word vectors can compen-sate for the lack of structure in the model in this task. Word vectors are already trained to encode the words in their linguistic context especially information from word order. Our discussion would not be complete without explaining our results in relation to the recursive neural network model proposed by Ji and Eisenstein (2015) . Why do sequential LSTM models outperform recursive neural networks or tree LSTM models? Although this first comes as a surprise to us, the results are consistent with recent works that use sequential LSTM to encode syntactic information. For example, Vinyals et al. (2015) use sequential LSTM to encode the features for syntactic parse output. Tree LSTM seems to show improvement when there is a need to model longdistance dependency in the data (Tai et al., 2015; Li et al., 2015) . Furthermore, the benefits of tree LSTM are not readily apparent for a model that discards the syntactic categories in the intermediate nodes and makes no distinction between heads and their dependents, which are at the core of syntactic representations.",

Our experimental results show that the hidden layers are an important contributor to the performance for all of our models. We choose linear inter-argument interaction instead of bilinear interaction, and this decision gives us at least two advantages. Linear interaction allows us to stack up hidden layers without the exponential growth in the number of parameters. Secondly, using linear interaction allows us to use high dimensional word vectors, which we found to be another important component for the performance. The recursive model by Ji and Eisenstein (2015) is limited to 50 units due to the bilinear layer. Our choice of linear interargument interaction and high-dimensional word vectors turns out to be crucial to building a competitive neural network model for classifying implicit discourse relations.",

Chinese word vectors are induced through CBOW and Skipgram architecture in word2vec (Mikolov et al., 2013a) on Chinese Gigaword corpus (Graff and Chen, 2005) using default settings. The number of dimensions that we try are 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300. We induce 1,000 and 3,000 Brown clusters on the Gigaword corpus. Table 5 shows the results for the models which are best tuned on the number of hidden units, hidden layers, and the types of word vectors. The feedforward variant of our model significantly outperforms the strong baselines in both English and Chinese (p < 0.05 bootstrap test). This suggests that our approach is robust against different label sets, and our findings are valid across languages. Our Chinese model outperforms all of the feature sets known to work well in English despite using only word vectors. The choice of neural architecture used for inducing Chinese word vectors turns out to be crucial. Chinese word vectors from Skipgram model perform consistently better than the ones from CBOW model ( Figure 5 ). These two types of word vectors do not show much difference in the English tasks.",

Along the same vein, Brown cluster assignments have also been used as a general purpose lexicon that requires no human manual annotation (Rutherford and Xue, 2014) . However, these solutions still suffer from the data sparsity problem and almost always require extensive feature selection to work well (Park and Cardie, 2012; Lin et al., 2009; Ji and Eisenstein, 2015) . The work we report here explores the use of the expressive power of distributed representations to overcome the data sparsity problem found in the traditional feature engineering paradigm. Neural network modeling has been explored to some extent in the context of this task. Recently, Braud and Denis (2015) tested various word vectors as features for implicit discourse relation classification and show that distributed features achieve the same level of accuracy as onehot representations in some experimental settings. Ji et al. (2015; advance the state of the art for this task by using recursive and recurrent neural networks. In the work we report here, we systematically explore the use of different neural network architectures and show that when highdimensional word vectors are used as input, a simple feed-forward architecture can outperform more sophisticated architectures such as sequential and tree-based LSTM networks, given the small amount of data.",

Many neural architectures have been explored and evaluated, but there is no single technique that is decidedly better across all tasks. The LSTM-based models such as Kiros et al. (2015) perform well across tasks but do not outperform some other strong neural baselines. Ji et al.
