Czech RST Discourse Treebank 1.0

Czech RST Discourse Treebank 1.0

The Czech RST Discourse Treebank 1.0 (CzRST-DT 1.0, Poláková et al., 2023) is a dataset of 54 Czech journalistic texts manually annotated using the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST; Mann and Thompson, 1988). Each text document in the treebank is represented as a single tree-like structure, the nodes (discourse units) are interconnected through hierarchical rhetorical relations.

The dataset also contains concurrent annotations of five double-annotated documents.

The original texts are a part of the data annotated in the Prague Dependency Treebank (Hajič et al., 2020), although the two projects are independent.
