Preliminary performance results when compared to baseline are very encouraging for this

Therefore, several protocols have been presented that try to solve these defects. Despite these improvements, the quantum di...

Unsupervised Topic Modelling for Multi-Party Spoken Discourse

We present a method for unsupervised topic modelling which adapts methods used in document classification (Blei et al., 2003; Griffiths and Steyvers, 2004) to unsegmented multi-party discourse transcripts. We show how Bayesian inference in this generative model can be used to simultaneously address the problems of topic segmentation and topic identification: automatically segmenting multi-party...
