Learning to Model Domain-Specific Utterance Sequences for Extractive Summarization of Contact Center Dialogues
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a novel extractive summarization method for contact center dialogues. We use a particular type of hidden Markov model (HMM) called Class Speaker HMM (CSHMM), which processes operator/caller utterance sequences of multiple domains simultaneously to model domain-specific utterance sequences and common (domainwide) sequences at the same time. We applied the CSHMM to call summarization of transcripts in six different contact center domains and found that our method significantly outperforms competitive baselines based on the maximum coverage of important words using integer linear programming.

Domain adaptation with augmented space method for multi-domain contact center dialogue summarization
In this paper we propose a method to improve the quality of extractive summarization for contact center dialogues in various domains by making use of training samples whose domains are different from that of the test samples. Since preparing sufficient numbers of training samples for each domain is too expensive, we leverage references from many different domains and employ the Augmented Space ...
متن کاملExtractive Summarization Method for Contact Center Dialogues based on Call Logs
This paper proposes a novel extractive summarization method for speech dialogues between agents and customers in contact centers. The proposed method does not require any extra cost for applying the method such as preparing rules or creating training data. Conventional methods such as the tf*idf method, which gives importance to characteristic words in an input text, can miss the essential poin...
متن کاملFocused Meeting Summarization via Unsupervised Relation Extraction
We present a novel unsupervised framework for focused meeting summarization that views the problem as an instance of relation extraction. We adapt an existing in-domain relation learner (Chen et al., 2011) by exploiting a set of task-specific constraints and features. We evaluate the approach on a decision summarization task and show that it outperforms unsupervised utterance-level extractive s...

متن کاملUsing Speech-Specific Characteristics for Automatic Speech Summarization
In this thesis we address the challenge of automatically summarizing spontaneous, multi-party spoken dialogues. The experimental hypothesis is that it is advantageous when summarizing such meeting speech to exploit a variety of speech-specific characteristics, rather than simply treating the task as text summarization with a noisy transcript. We begin by investigating which term-weighting metri...
