Speaker Clustering in Textual Dialogue with Pairwise Utterance Relation and Cross-corpus Dialogue Act Supervision
Zhihua Su | Qiang Zhou
Proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Computational Linguistics

We propose a speaker clustering model for textual dialogues, which groups the utterances of a multi-party dialogue without speaker annotations, so that the actual speakers are identical inside each cluster. We find that, without knowing the speakers, the interactions between utterances are still implied in the text, which suggest the relations between speakers. In this work, we model the semantic content of utterance with a pre-trained language model, and the relations between speakers with an utterance-level pairwise matrix. The semantic content representation can be further instructed by cross-corpus dialogue act modeling. The speaker labels are finally generated by spectral clustering. Experiments show that our model outperforms the sequence classification baseline, and benefits from the auxiliary dialogue act classification task. We also discuss the detail of determining the number of speakers (clusters), eliminating the interference caused by semantic similarity, and the impact of utterance distance.

眼动记录与主旨结构标注的关联性分析研究(Research on the correlation between eye movement feature and thematic structure label)

Proceedings of the 19th Chinese National Conference on Computational Linguistics

给定包含主旨概括句的汉语句群,针对该句群的内部结构标注是基于语言学的分析结果,而阅读句群时的眼动轨迹则蕴含着人的心理认知,两者的信息融合和内在关联性分析是该文主要工作。该文使用基于径向基函数支持向量机和递归特征消除的分类模型,根据标点小句片段对应的眼动指标数据预测该片段是否为包含主旨内容的关键信息,达到了0.76的准确率,并通过分析关键片段上眼动数据的分布特点,提取出对句群主旨概括信息区分度较好的眼动指标。

A Novel Fast Framework for Topic Labeling Based on Similarity-preserved Hashing

Proceedings of COLING 2016, the 26th International Conference on Computational Linguistics: Technical Papers

Recently, topic modeling has been widely applied in data mining due to its powerful ability. A common, major challenge in applying such topic models to other tasks is to accurately interpret the meaning of each topic. Topic labeling, as a major interpreting method, has attracted significant attention recently. However, most of previous works only focus on the effectiveness of topic labeling, and less attention has been paid to quickly creating good topic descriptors; meanwhile, it’s hard to assign labels for new emerging topics by using most of existing methods. To solve the problems above, in this paper, we propose a novel fast topic labeling framework that casts the labeling problem as a k-nearest neighbor (KNN) search problem in a probability vector set. Our experimental results show that the proposed sequential interleaving method based on locality sensitive hashing (LSH) technology is efficient in boosting the comparison speed among probability distributions, and the proposed framework can generate meaningful labels to interpret topics, including new emerging topics.
