چکیده

In this section, we describe the general Gibbs sampler for our nonparametric model. The state space of our chain is the topic indices assigned to all tokens z = {zc,t,n} and topic shifts assigned to all turns l = {lc,t}. In order to obtain zc,t,n we need to know the path assigned for token wc,t,n through the hierarchy which includes kT c,t,n, k S c,s,j and k C c,i. For ease of reference, the meaning of these symbols (and others used in this appendix) are listed in Table 1. Figure 1c shows the relationship among the latent variables in our model. As shown, once we know the three seating assignments kT c,t,n, k S c,s,j and k C c,i, zc,t,n can obtained by zc,t,n ≡ kC c,kS c,st,k T c,t,n (1)

Modeling Topic Control in Conversations using Speaker-centric Nonparametric Topic Models

Identifying influential speakers in multi-party conversations has been the focus of research in communication, sociology, and psychology for decades. It has been long acknowledged qualitatively that controlling the topic of a conversation is a sign of influence. To capture who introduces new topics in conversations, we introduce SITS—Speaker Identity for Topic Segmentation—a nonparametric hiera...

SITS: A Hierarchical Nonparametric Model using Speaker Identity for Topic Segmentation in Multiparty Conversations

One of the key tasks for analyzing conversational data is segmenting it into coherent topic segments. However, most models of topic segmentation ignore the social aspect of conversations, focusing only on the words used. We introduce a hierarchical Bayesian nonparametric model, Speaker Identity for Topic Segmentation (SITS), that discovers (1) the topics used in a conversation, (2) how these to...

Modeling Topic and Role Information in Meetings Using the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process

In this paper, we address the modeling of topic and role information in multiparty meetings, via a nonparametric Bayesian model called the hierarchical Dirichlet process. This model provides a powerful solution to topic modeling and a flexible framework for the incorporation of other cues such as speaker role information. We present our modeling framework for topic and role on the AMI Meeting C...

Detecting speaker roles and topic changes in multiparty conversations using latent topic models

Accessing and browsing archives of multiparty conversations can be significantly facilitated by labeling them in terms of high level information. In this paper, we investigate automatic labeling of speaker roles and topic changes in professional meetings. Using the framework of unsupervised topic modeling we express speaker utterances as mixture of latent variables, each of which is governed by...

Automatic social role recognition and its application in structuring multiparty interactions

Automatic processing of multiparty interactions is a research domain with important applications in content browsing, summarization and information retrieval. In recent years, several works have been devoted to find regular patterns which speakers exhibit in a multiparty interaction also known as social roles. Most of the research in literature has generally focused on recognition of scenario s...
