A keyword selection strategy for dialogue move recognition and multi-class topic identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of usefulness for keyword selection in topic identi cation problems is reformulated and extended to the multi-class domain. The derivation is shown to be a generalisation of that for the two class problem. The technique is applied to both multinomial and Poisson based estimates of word probability, and shown to outperform or compare favourably to various information theoretic techniques classifying dialogue moves in the map task corpus, and reports in the LOB corpus.

On topic identification and dialogue move recognition
Dialogue move recognition is cited as being representative of a class of problem which may be of concern in data driven natural language processing. The dialogue move recognition problem is formulated as a keyword-based topic identification problem, and is shown to be sensitive to the issue of unknown vocabulary. A model based on the multiple Poisson distribution is shown to alleviate the unkno...
متن کاملModeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...

متن کاملA theory of word frequencies and its application to dialogue move recognition
Dialogue move recognition is taken as being representative of a class of spoken language applications where inference about high level semantic meaning is required from lower level acoustic, phonetic or word based features. Topic identication is another such application. In the particular case of inference from words, the multinomial distribution is shown to be inadequate for modelling word fre...
متن کاملIdentification of utterance intention in Japanese spontaneous spoken dialogue by use of prosody and keyword information
This paper describes the study on the identification of utterance intention in Japanese spontaneous dialogue. The procedure of tagging the dialog act which was labeled by hand was evaluated by the analysis of the prosodic information and keyword recognition for the dialogues of scheduling and travel arrangement domains. It was shown that the integration of prosody and keywords relevant to illoc...
