Unsupervised topic modelling for multi-party spoken discourse
2006
Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Computational Linguistics and the 44th annual meeting of the ACL - ACL '06
We present a method for unsupervised topic modelling which adapts methods used in document classification (Blei et al., 2003; Griffiths and Steyvers, 2004) to unsegmented multi-party discourse transcripts ...
We show how Bayesian inference in this generative model can be used to simultaneously address the problems of topic segmentation and topic identification: automatically segmenting multi-party meetings ...
We thank Elizabeth Shriberg and Andreas Stolcke for providing automatic speech recognition data for the ICSI corpus and for their helpful advice; John Niekrasz and Alex Gruenstein for help with the NOMOS ...

Unsupervised topic modeling for leader detection in spoken discourse
2012
2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)
In this paper, we describe a method for leader detection in multiparty spoken discourse that relies on unsupervised topic modeling to segment the discourse automatically. ...
Latent Dirichlet allocation is applied to sliding temporal windows of utterances, resulting in a topic model which captures the fluid transitions from topic to topic which occur in multi-party discourse ...
SUMMARY In this paper, we hypothesized that topics shifts occurring during multi-party spoken discourse could lend important clues towards leader detection. ...

A Hybrid Framework for Topic Structure using Laughter Occurrences
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
In this work we combine both paralinguistic and linguistic knowledge into a hybrid framework through a multi-level hierarchy. Thus it outputs the discourse-level topic structures. ...
This training-free topic structuring approach can be applicable to online understanding of spoken dialogs. ...

Topic Segmentation
[chapter]
2011
Spoken Language Understanding
This chapter discusses the task of topic segmentation: automatically dividing single long recordings or transcripts into shorter, topically coherent segments. ...
We then explain the most influential approaches -generative and discriminative, supervised and unsupervised -and discuss their application in particular domains. ...
While the distinction between two-party and multi-party dialogue can be very useful in some contexts, we intend the term dialogue to cover both here. ...

Unsupervised Topic Modeling Approaches to Decision Summarization in Spoken Meetings
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Concretely, a series of unsupervised topic models is explored and experimental results show that fine-grained topic models, which discover topics at the utterance-level rather than the document-level, ...
We present a token-level decision summarization framework that utilizes the latent topic structures of utterances to identify "summary-worthy" words. ...

MIDAS: A Dialog Act Annotation Scheme for Open Domain Human Machine Spoken Conversations
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Dialog act prediction is an essential language comprehension task for both dialog system building and discourse analysis. ...
To show the applicability of the scheme, we leverage transfer learning methods to train a multi-label dialog act prediction model and reach an F1 score of 0.79. ...
However, the scheme is designed for modeling conversation topics instead of training dialog act predictors. ...
