Abstract: Documents Anna Korhonen Thierry Poibeau Computer Laboratory LaTTiCe, UMR8094 University of Cambridge, UK CNRS & ENS, France alk2 3 @ cam . ac .uk thierry .po ibeau @ ens . fr tific literature according to categories of information structure (or discourse, rhetorical, argumentative or Argumentative Zoning (AZ) analysis of the argumentative structure of a scientific paper has proved useful for a number of information access tasks. Current approaches to AZ rely on supervised machine learning (ML). – – Requiring large amounts of annotated data, these approaches are expensive to develop and port to different domains and tasks. A potential solution to this problem is to use weaklysupervised ML instead. We investigate the performance of four weakly-supervised classifiers on scientific abstract data annotated for multiple AZ classes. Our best classifier based on the combination of active learning and selftraining outperforms our best supervised classifier, yielding a high accuracy of 81% when using just 10% of the labeled data. This result suggests that weakly-supervised learning could be employed to improve the practical applicability and portability of AZ across different information access tasks.
