AMPERSAND: Argument Mining for PERSuAsive oNline Discussions

1 code implementation IJCNLP 2019 Tuhin Chakrabarty, Christopher Hidey, Smaranda Muresan, Kathy Mckeown, Alyssa Hwang

Our approach for relation prediction uses contextual information in terms of fine-tuning a pre-trained language model and leveraging discourse relations based on Rhetorical Structure Theory.

Detecting and Reducing Bias in a High Stakes Domain

1 code implementation IJCNLP 2019 Ruiqi Zhong, Yanda Chen, Desmond Patton, Charlotte Selous, Kathy Mckeown

Gang-involved youth in cities such as Chicago sometimes post on social media to express their aggression towards rival gangs and previous research has demonstrated that a deep learning approach can predict aggression and loss in posts.

Neural Network Alignment for Sentential Paraphrases

no code implementations ACL 2019 Jessica Ouyang, Kathy Mckeown

We present a monolingual alignment system for long, sentence- or clause-level alignments, and demonstrate that systems designed for word- or short phrase-based alignment are ill-suited for these longer alignments.

Identifying therapist conversational actions across diverse psychotherapeutic approaches

no code implementations WS 2019 Fei-Tzin Lee, Derrick Hull, Jacob Levine, Bonnie Ray, Kathy McKeown

We propose to apply dialogue act classification to therapy transcripts, using a therapy-specific labeling scheme, in order to gain a high-level understanding of the flow of conversation in therapy sessions.

Analyzing the Semantic Types of Claims and Premises in an Online Persuasive Forum

no code implementations WS 2017 Christopher Hidey, Elena Musi, Alyssa Hwang, Smar Muresan, a, Kathy Mckeown

Argumentative text has been analyzed both theoretically and computationally in terms of argumentative structure that consists of argument components (e. g., claims, premises) and their argumentative relations (e. g., support, attack).

Crowd-Sourced Iterative Annotation for Narrative Summarization Corpora

no code implementations EACL 2017 Jessica Ouyang, Serina Chang, Kathy Mckeown

We present an iterative annotation process for producing aligned, parallel corpora of abstractive and extractive summaries for narrative.

Towards Automatic Detection of Narrative Structure

no code implementations LREC 2014 Jessica Ouyang, Kathy Mckeown

Using this corpus, we explore the correspondence between LabovÂ’s elements of narrative structure and the implicit discourse relations of the Penn Discourse Treebank, and we construct a mapping between the elements of narrative structure and the discourse relation classes of the PDTB.
