Question Generation in the CODA project

چکیده
In the ongoing CODA project, we are developing a system for automatically converting monologue into dialogue. The dialogue is generated in a two-step approach. Firstly, snippets of input monologue are mapped to dialogue act sequences. Secondly, these sequences are verbalized. The conversion relies partly on analysing input monologue in terms of its discourse relations. This short paper briefly describes the approach to the first step in CODA. This approach involves the use of a parallel corpus of monologues and dialogues to learn mappings from monologue to dialogue acts. Here, we focus on dialogue acts that involve question asking.

Evaluating HILDA in the CODA Project: A Case Study in Question Generation Using Automatic Discourse Analysis
Recent studies on question generation identify the need for automatic discourse analysers. We evaluated the feasibility of integrating an available discourse analyser called HILDA for a specific question generation system called CODA; introduce an approach by extracting a discourse corpus from the CODA parallel corpus; and identified future work towards automatic discourse analysis in the domai...

متن کاملOn the correlation of acoustic vowel and coda duration in modern Welsh C(C)VC monosyllables
This project investigates the relationship of vowel duration and coda duration in modern Welsh monosyllabic words ending in a simplex consonant. Acoustic data from 16 native speakers from the two major dialectal varieties of Welsh were analysed. We found vowel duration highly predictive by coda duration, taking into account possible influences of phrase prosody, speaker and variety specific dev...
متن کاملLow Bandwidth Optimizations for Coda
An advanced distributed file system like Coda is an integral part of today’s mobile environment. This is due to the limitations of having large storage capacities on small mobile devices, finite battery life and the ubiquitous nature of wireless networking today. However, systems such as Coda do not perform optimally on low bandwidth connections such as low-speed error prone wireless links and ...
