For text-level discourse analysis there are various discourse schemes but relatively few labeleddata because discourse research is still immature and it is labor-intensive to annotate the innerlogic of a text. In this paper we attempt to unify multiple Chinese discourse corpora under different annotation schemes with discourse dependency framework by designing semi-automatic methods to convert them into dependency structures. We also implement several benchmark dependency parsers and research on how they can leverage the unified data to improve performance.1
