Semantic Similarity Applied to Spoken Dialogue Summarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel approach to spoken dialogue summarization. Our system employs a set of semantic similarity metrics using the noun portion of WordNet as a knowledge source. So far, the noun senses have been disambiguated manually. The algorithm aims to extract utterances carrying the essential content of dialogues. We evaluate the system on 20 Switchboard dialogues. The results show that our system outperforms LEAD, RANDOM and TF*IDF baselines.

Dialogue-Oriented Review Summary Generation for Spoken Dialogue Recommendation Systems
In this paper we present an opinion summarization technique in spoken dialogue systems. Opinion mining has been well studied for years, but very few have considered its application in spoken dialogue systems. Review summarization, when applied to real dialogue systems, is much more complicated than pure text-based summarization. We conduct a systematic study on dialogue-system-oriented review a...

In this paper we describe the JUNITMZ 1 system that was developed for participation in SemEval 2016 Task 1: Semantic Textual Similarity. Methods for measuring the textual similarity are useful to a broad range of applications including: text mining, information retrieval, dialogue systems, machine translation and text summarization. However, many systems developed specifically for STS are compl...
متن کاملAutomatic analysis of medical dialogue in the home hemodialysis domain: structure induction and summarization
Spoken medical dialogue is a valuable source of information for patients and caregivers. This work presents a first step towards automatic analysis and summarization of spoken medical dialogue. We first abstract a dialogue into a sequence of semantic categories using linguistic and contextual features integrated in a supervised machine-learning framework. Our model has a classification accuracy...

متن کاملSpoken Lecture Summarization by Random Walk over a Graph Constructed with Automatically Extracted Key Terms
This paper proposes an improved approach for spoken lecture summarization, in which random walk is performed on a graph constructed with automatically extracted key terms and probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA). Each sentence of the document is represented as a node of the graph and the edge between two nodes is weighted by the topical similarity between the two sentences. The basic i...
