In the framework of the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST by Mann and Thompson, 1987), this central unit detector is developed to detect a central unit in argumentative answer texts in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) written by candidates for university entrance exams. First, a BP segmenter or manual segmentation has to be performed to get the Elementary Discourse Units (EDUs) of a text. To do so, insert manually a line break for each EDU.
NOTE: This tool was Powered by IXA-CLARIN-K CENTRE. For the best performance of the system the question has to be divided into two parts with a colon ":", in the first part is the question or the rheme (or focus) and in the second part are the factors or other issues relevant to the question itself. As follows:
