Assessing DIScourse COherence in Italian TEXts (DISCOTEX)
Original Paper: https://sites.google.com/view/discotex/

Task presented at EVALITA-2023

The original task is about modelling discourse coherence for Italian texts.

We focalized only on the first sub-task: Last sentence Classification: given a short paragraph, and an individual sentence (target), the model will be asked to classify whether the target follows or not the paragraph.

To assess the capability of a Language Model to solve such kind of task we reframed the task as multi-choice QA.

The question will ask to the model given a short paragraph which target sentence is the correct between a list of four, the answers will be the starting letters of the relative target, and a fifth option that indicate that no one target is the correct continuation.

For each sample, if the sample has 1 as label, we set the relative target as gold answer and three other random targets (from other samples) as distractors. On the other way around, if the sample has 0 as label, we set the relative target and other three random targets (from other samples) as distractors, as the gold answer will be chosen the sentence: "nessuna delle precedenti".
