Unsupervised Approach for Dialogue Act Classification
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an unsupervised approach for dialogue act (DA) classification. We used a latent variable model to compress the dimensions of the feature vector. We introduced a paraphraser to reduce the variety of expressions and to solve the pragmatic problem for DA classification. The paraphraser seemed to work well on some DA classifications in the unsupervised approach. The results obtained by the unsupervised approach were compared with the manually annotated labels. A preliminary experiment for semi-supervised tagging was also carried out, and we discuss these results.

Understanding Student Language: An Unsupervised Dialogue Act Classification Approach
Within the landscape of educational data, textual natural language is an increasingly vast source of learning-centered interactions. In natural language dialogue, student contributions hold important information about knowledge and goals. Automatically modeling the dialogue act of these student utterances is crucial for scaling natural language understanding of educational dialogues. Automatic ...
متن کاملA Preliminary Investigation of Learner Characteristics for Unsupervised Dialogue Act Classification
For tutorial dialogue systems, classifying the dialogue act (such as questions, requests for feedback, or statements) of student natural language utterances is a central challenge. Recently, momentum is building for the use of unsupervised machine learning approaches to address this problem because they reduce the manual tagging required to build dialogue act models from corpora. However, unsup...

متن کاملCombining Task and Dialogue Streams in Unsupervised Dialogue Act Models
Unsupervised machine learning approaches hold great promise for recognizing dialogue acts, but the performance of these models tends to be much lower than the accuracies reached by supervised models. However, some dialogues, such as task-oriented dialogues with parallel task streams, hold rich information that has not yet been leveraged within unsupervised dialogue act models. This paper invest...
