Table 1 Teufel’s (1999) Argumentative Zones 3 Maximum Entropy models 2 Argumentative Zoning Teufel (1999) introduced a new rhetorical analy- sis for scientific texts called Argumentative Zon- ing. Each sentence of an article from the scien- tific literature is classified into one of seven basic rhetorical structures shown in Table 1. Maximum entropy (ME) or log-linear models are statistical models that can incorporate evidence from a diverse range of complex and potentially overlapping features. Unlike Naive Bayes (NB), the features can be conditionally dependent given the class, which is important since feature sets in NLP rarely satisfy this independence constraint.
