Statistical Method of Recognizing Local Cohesion

چکیده
This paper presents a method for automatically recognizing local cohesion between utterances, which is one of the discourse structures in task-oriented spoken dialogues. More specifically we can automatically acquire discourse knowledge from an annotated corpus with local cohesion. In this paper we focus on speech act type-based local cohesion. The presented method consists of two steps 1) identifying the speech act expressions in an utterance and 2) calculating the plausibility of local cohesion between the speech act expressions by using the dialogue corpus annotated with local cohesion. We present two methods of interpolating the plausibility of local cohesion based on surface information on utterances. The presented method has obtained a 93% accuracy for closed data and a 78% accuracy for open data in recognizing a pair of utterances with local cohesion.

The Relationship between Rhetorical moves and Lexical Cohesion Patterns; the case of Introduction and Discussion sections of Local and International Research Articles
Communicative moves and lexical cohesion patterns (LCPs), as mounting evidence shows, are two important indicators in writing and publishing the RAs. However, the interaction between these two crucial elements and the contribution of this interaction to the failure or success of the RAs have not been given due attention to date. Having this in mind and based on a sound theoretical framework, at...
متن کاملEvaluation of Effective Parameters on the Underground Tunnel Stability Using BEM
There are various parameters that affect stability and expansion of failure zones in under pressure tunnels. Among the important parameters that affect failure zones around the tunnels are cohesion and internal friction angle of the rock mass. In addition, the cross sectional shape is the considerable point in failure distribution around the tunnels. The stress analysis method is one of the app...

متن کاملDiscourse Element Identification in Student Essays based on Global and Local Cohesion
We present a method of using cohesion to improve discourse element identification for sentences in student essays. New features for each sentence are derived by considering its relations to global and local cohesion, which are created by means of cohesive resources and subtopic coverage. In our experiments, we obtain significant improvements on identifying all discourse elements, especially of ...
متن کاملComputing Lexical Cohesion as a Tool for Text Analysis
Recognizing coherent structure of a text is an essential task in natural language understanding. It is necessary, for example, to resolve anaphora, ellipsis, and ambiguity. One of the dominant factors of coherence of the text structure is lexical cohesion, namely the dependency relationship between words based on associative relations in common knowledge. This thesis proposes an objective and c...
