A Theoretically Grounded Approach to Summarizing Conversation Dynamics for Forecasting the Derailment of Online Conversations (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work on conversation derailment prediction relies on linguistic features rooted in linguistic and social theories. |
| Approach: | They propose a system that predicts from the start of a conversation whether it will derail into toxic exchanges. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system achieves 10% performance increase over baseline and 6.47% increase on benchmark dataset. |
Towards Unification of Discourse Annotation Frameworks (2022.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Discourse information is difficult to represent and annotate, and corpora annotated under different frameworks vary considerably. |
| Approach: | They propose to use automatic means to unify discourse structures and relations . they will also explore the application of the unified framework in multi-task learning and graphical models . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be used in multi-task learning and graphical models. |
A Survey of QUD Models for Discourse Processing (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Question Under Discussion (QUD) is a linguistic analytic framework for explaining pragmatic phenomena and information structural analysis. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Question Under Discussion (QUD) to model discourse units, such as sentences, as answers to some implicit or explicit questions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is compared with RST, PDTB and SDRT . questions that may require further study are suggested. |
