The variety of styles used makes measurements, a most crucial aspect of scientific writing, challenging to extract. This paper presents ablation studies making the case for several preprocessing steps such as specialized tokenization rules. For linguistic structure, we encode dependency trees in a Deep Graph Convolution Network (DGCNN) for multi-task classification. %R 10.18653/v1/2021.semeval-1.48 %U https://aclanthology.org/2021.semeval-1.48 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/2021.semeval-1.48 %P 404-409
