Shallow Discourse Structure For Action Item Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated automatic action item detection from transcripts of multi-party meetings. Unlike previous work (Gruenstein et al., 2005), we use a new hierarchical annotation scheme based on the roles utterances play in the action item assignment process, and propose an approach to automatic detection that promises improved classification accuracy while enabling the extraction of useful information for summarization and reporting.

Deceptive Opinion Spam Detection Using Deep Level Linguistic Features
This paper focuses on improving a specific opinion spam detection task, deceptive spam. In addition to traditional word form and other shallow syntactic features, we introduce two types of deep level linguistic features. The first type of features are derived from a shallow discourse parser trained on Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB), which can capture inter-sentence information. The second type ...
متن کاملShallow Convolutional Neural Network for Implicit Discourse Relation Recognition
Implicit discourse relation recognition remains a serious challenge due to the absence of discourse connectives. In this paper, we propose a Shallow Convolutional Neural Network (SCNN) for implicit discourse relation recognition, which contains only one hidden layer but is effective in relation recognition. The shallow structure alleviates the overfitting problem, while the convolution and nonl...
متن کاملMeeting Structure Annotation: Data and Tools
We present a set of annotations of hierarchical topic segmentations and action item subdialogues collected over 65 meetings from the ICSI and ISL meeting corpora, designed to support automatic meeting understanding and analysis. We describe an architecture for representing, annotating, and analyzing multi-party discourse, including: an ontology of multimodal discourse, a programming interface f...
متن کاملThe UniTN Discourse Parser in CoNLL 2015 Shared Task: Token-level Sequence Labeling with Argument-specific Models
Penn Discourse Treebank style discourse parsing is a composite task of identifying discourse relations (explicit or nonexplicit), their connective and argument spans, and assigning a sense to these relations from the hierarchy of senses. In this paper we describe University of Trento parser submitted to CoNLL 2015 Shared Task on Shallow Discourse Parsing. The span detection tasks for explicit r...
متن کاملThe Impact of Deep Hierarchical Discourse Structures in the Evaluation of Text Coherence
Previous work by Lin et al. (2011) demonstrated the effectiveness of using discourse relations for evaluating text coherence. However, their work was based on discourse relations annotated in accordance with the Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB) (Prasad et al., 2008), which encodes only very shallow discourse structures; therefore, they cannot capture long-distance discourse dependencies. In this ...
