Factor analysis based semantic variability compensation for automatic conversation representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of this paper is to identify themes from dialogues of telephone conversations in a real-life customer care service. In this task, the word semantic variability contained in these conversations may impact the classification performance by retaining the noise in their vectorial representation. In this article, we propose an original method to compensate this semantic variability using the Factor Analysis (FA) paradigm, initially designed for speech processing tasks to compensate the acoustic variability, mainly in Speaker Verification (SV) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). In our proposal, we used the FA paradigm to estimate the semantic variability as an additive component located in a subspace of low dimension (with respect to the super-vector space). This additive semantic variability is estimated in Factor Analysis model space. From this estimation, a specific vector transformation is obtained and is applied to vectors of dialogue representation. Experiments are reported using a corpus collected in the call center of the Paris Transportation Service. Results show the effectiveness of the proposed representation paradigm with a theme identification accuracy of 80.0%, showing a significant improvement with respect to previous results on the same corpus.

In social networking/microblogging environments, #tag is often used for categorizing messages and marking their key points. Also, since some social networks such as twitter apply restrictions on the number of characters in messages, #tags can serve as a useful tool for helping users express their messages. In this paper, a new knowledge-intensive content-based #tag recommendation system is intr...

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...
متن کاملDiscriminative acoustic language recognition via channel-compensated GMM statistics
We propose a novel design for acoustic feature-based automatic spoken language recognizers. Our design is inspired by recent advances in text-independent speaker recognition, where intraclass variability is modeled by factor analysis in Gaussian mixture model (GMM) space. We use approximations to GMMlikelihoods which allow variable-length data sequences to be represented as statistics of fixed ...
