Discourse parsing in Portuguese has two critical limitations. The first is that the task has been explored using only symbolic approaches, i.e., using manually extracted lexical patterns. The second is related to the domain of the lexical patterns, which were extracted through the analysis of a corpus of academic texts, generating many domain-specific patterns. For English, many approaches have been explored using machine learning with features based on a prominent lexicon-syntax notion of dominance sets. In this paper, two works were adapted to Portuguese, improving the results, outperforming the baselines and previous works for Portuguese, considering the task of rhetorical relation identification.
