New feature weighting approaches for speech-act classification
A dialogue system is a software program that enables a user to interact with a computer using a natural language (Kang et al. 2014). Since an essential task of the dialogue system is to understand what the user says, it must be able to determine the user’s intention indicated in the user’s utterance. A speech-act is a linguistic action and implies the user’s intention. Therefore, the dialogue s...
متن کاملA Novel Scheme for Improving Accuracy of KNN Classification Algorithm Based on the New Weighting Technique and Stepwise Feature Selection
K nearest neighbor algorithm is one of the most frequently used techniques in data mining for its integrity and performance. Though the KNN algorithm is highly effective in many cases, it has some essential deficiencies, which affects the classification accuracy of the algorithm. First, the effectiveness of the algorithm is affected by redundant and irrelevant features. Furthermore, this algori...
متن کاملAutomated Speech Act Classification For Online Chat
In this paper, we present our investigation on using supervised machine learning methods to automatically classify online chat posts into speech act categories, which are semantic categories indicating speakers’ intentions. Supervised machine learning methods presuppose the existence of annotated training data based on which machine learning algorithms can be used to learn the parameters of som...
متن کاملHierarchical speech-act classification for discourse analysis
The analysis of a speech act is important for dialogue understanding systems because the speech act of an utterance is closely associated with the user’s intention in the utterance. This paper proposes a speech act classification model that effectively uses a two-layer hierarchical structure generated from the adjacency pair information of speech acts. The proposed model has two advantages when...
متن کاملDiscriminative feature weighting for HMM-based continuous speech recognizers
The Discriminative Feature Extraction (DFE) method provides an appropriate formalism for the design of the frontend feature extraction module in pattern classification systems. In the recent years, this formalism has been successfully applied to different speech recognition problems, like classification of vowels, classification of phonemes or isolated word recognition. The DFE formalism can be...
