Non-Sentential Utterances in Dialogue: Experiments in Classification and Interpretation
Non-sentential utterances (NSUs) are utterances that lack a complete sentential form but whose meaning can be inferred from the dialogue context, such as “OK”, “where?”, “probably at his apartment”. The interpretation of non-sentential utterances is an important problem in computational linguistics since they constitute a frequent phenomena in dialogue and they are intrinsically context-depende...
متن کاملTowards Finding and Fixing Fragments-Using ML to Identify Non-Sentential Utterances and their Antecedents in Multi-Party Dialogue
Non-sentential utterances (e.g., shortanswers as in “Who came to the party?”— “Peter.”) are pervasive in dialogue. As with other forms of ellipsis, the elided material is typically present in the context (e.g., the question that a short answer answers). We present a machine learning approach to the novel task of identifying fragments and their antecedents in multiparty dialogue. We compare the ...
متن کاملToward Adaptive Unsupervised Dialogue Act Classification in Tutoring by Gender and Self-Efficacy
For tutorial dialogue systems, classifying the dialogue act (such as questions, requests for feedback, and statements) of student natural language utterances is a central challenge. Recently, unsupervised machine learning approaches are showing great promise; however, these models still have much room for improvement in terms of accuracy. To address this challenge, this paper presents a new uns...
متن کاملA compositional and constraint-based approach to non-sentential utterances
We present an approach to the interpretation of non-sentential utterances like B’s utterance in the following mini-dialogue: A: “Who came to the party?” B: “Peter.” Such utterances pose several puzzles: they convey ‘sentence-type’ messages (propositions, questions or request) while being of nonsentential form; and they are constrained both semantically and syntactically by the context. We addre...
متن کاملA SVM Cascade for Agreement/Disagreement Classification
This article describes a method for classifying dialogue utterances and detecting the interlocutor’s agreement or disagreement. This labelling can help improve dialogue management by providing additional information on the utterance’s content without deep parsing. The proposed technique improves upon state of the art approaches by using a Support Vector Machine cascade. A combination of three b...
