Museli: A Multi-Source Evidence Integration Approach to Topic Segmentation of Spontaneous Dialogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a novel topic segmentation approach that combines evidence of topic shifts from lexical cohesion with linguistic evidence such as syntactically distinct features of segment initial contributions. Our evaluation demonstrates that this hybrid approach outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms even when applied to loosely structured, spontaneous dialogue.

Topic-Segmentation Of Dialogue
We introduce a novel topic segmentation approach that combines evidence of topic shifts from lexical cohesion with linguistic evidence such as syntactically distinct features of segment initial and final contributions. Our evaluation shows that this hybrid approach outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms even when applied to loosely structured, spontaneous dialogue. Further analysis reveals tha...
متن کاملTopic Segmentation : A First Stage to Dialog-Based Information Extraction
We study the problem of topic segmentation of manually transcribed speech in order to facilitate information extraction from dialogs. Our approach is based on a combination of multi-source knowledge modeled by hidden Markov models. We experiment with different combinations of linguistic-level cues on dialogs dealing with search and rescue missions. Results show the effectiveness of multi-source...

JANUS is a multi-lingual speech-to-speech translation system designed to facilitate communication between two parties engaged in a spontaneous conversation in a limited domain. In this paper we describe how multi-level segmentation of single utterance turns improves translation quality and facilitates accurate translation in our system. We define the basic dialogue units that are handled by our...
