Non-Topical Coherence in Social Talk: A Call for Dialogue Model Enrichment (2020.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current models of dialogue focus on utterances within a topically coherent discourse segment, not on social conversations . a pilot annotation study of NTUs is a first step towards a model capable of rationalizing conversational coherence in social talk. |
| Approach: | They conduct a pilot annotation study of social dialogues as a first step towards a Bayesian game-theoretic model . they first annotate content-based coherence relations that are not available in Disco-SPICE . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can rationalize conversational coherence in social talk, the authors say . the study focuses on the natural occurring social dialogues in the Disco-SPICE corpus . |
