Towards Automatic Addressee Identification in Multi-party Dialogues
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper is about the issue of addressing in multi-party dialogues. Analysis of addressing behavior in face to face meetings results in the identification of several addressing mechanisms. From these we extract several utterance features and features of non-verbal communicative behavior of a speaker, like gaze and gesturing, that are relevant for observers to identify the participants the speaker is talking to. A method for the automatic prediction of the addressee of speech acts is discussed.

Parameters for Topic Boundary Detection in Multi-Party Dialogues
We present a topic boundary detection method that searches for connections between sequences of utterances in multi party dialogues. The connections are established based on word identity. We compare our method to a state-of-the art automatic topic boundary detection method that was also used on multi party dialogues. We checked various methods of preprocessing of the data, including stemming, ...
متن کاملTerm-Weighting for Summarization of Multi-party Spoken Dialogues
This paper explores the issue of term-weighting in the genre of spontaneous, multi-party spoken dialogues, with the intent of using such term-weights in the creation of extractive meeting summaries. The field of text information retrieval has yielded many term-weighting techniques to import for our purposes; this paper implements and compares several of these, namely tf.idf, Residual IDF and Ga...
متن کاملCascaded Lexicalised Classifiers for Second-Person Reference Resolution
This paper examines the resolution of the second person English pronoun you in multi-party dialogue. Following previous work, we attempt to classify instances as generic or referential, and in the latter case identify the singular or plural addressee. We show that accuracy and robustness can be improved by use of simple lexical features, capturing the intuition that different uses and addressee...
متن کاملAddressee and Response Selection in Multi-Party Conversations with Speaker Interaction RNNs
In this paper, we study the problem of addressee and response selection in multi-party conversations. Understanding multi-party conversations is challenging because of complex speaker interactions: multiple speakers exchange messages with each other, playing different roles (sender, addressee, observer), and these roles vary across turns. To tackle this challenge, we propose the Speaker Interac...
متن کاملDisambiguating Between Generic and Referential "You" in Dialog
We describe an algorithm for a novel task: disambiguating the pronoun you in conversation. You can be generic or referential; finding referential you is important for tasks such as addressee identification or extracting ‘owners’ of action items. Our classifier achieves 84% accuracy in two-person conversations; an initial study shows promising performance even on more complex multi-party meetings.
