Winning on the Merits: The Joint Effects of Content and Style on Debate Outcomes

no code implementations TACL 2017 Lu Wang, Nick Beauchamp, Sarah Shugars, Kechen Qin

Using a dataset of 118 Oxford-style debates, our model's combination of content (as latent topics) and style (as linguistic features) allows us to predict audience-adjudicated winners with 74% accuracy, significantly outperforming linguistic features alone (66%).

Joint Modeling of Content and Discourse Relations in Dialogues

no code implementations ACL 2017 Kechen Qin, Lu Wang, Joseph Kim

We present a joint modeling approach to identify salient discussion points in spoken meetings as well as to label the discourse relations between speaker turns.

Understanding and Detecting Supporting Arguments of Diverse Types

no code implementations ACL 2017 Xinyu Hua, Lu Wang

We investigate the problem of sentence-level supporting argument detection from relevant documents for user-specified claims.

Unsupervised Topic Modeling Approaches to Decision Summarization in Spoken Meetings

no code implementations WS 2012 Lu Wang, Claire Cardie

We present a token-level decision summarization framework that utilizes the latent topic structures of utterances to identify "summary-worthy" words.

Focused Meeting Summarization via Unsupervised Relation Extraction

no code implementations WS 2012 Lu Wang, Claire Cardie

We present a novel unsupervised framework for focused meeting summarization that views the problem as an instance of relation extraction.

Improving Agreement and Disagreement Identification in Online Discussions with A Socially-Tuned Sentiment Lexicon

no code implementations WS 2014 Lu Wang, Claire Cardie

For example, the isotonic CRF model achieves F1 scores of 0. 74 and 0. 67 for agreement and disagreement detection, when a linear chain CRF obtains 0. 58 and 0. 56 for the discussions on Wikipedia Talk pages.

A Piece of My Mind: A Sentiment Analysis Approach for Online Dispute Detection

no code implementations ACL 2014 Lu Wang, Claire Cardie

We investigate the novel task of online dispute detection and propose a sentiment analysis solution to the problem: we aim to identify the sequence of sentence-level sentiments expressed during a discussion and to use them as features in a classifier that predicts the DISPUTE/NON-DISPUTE label for the discussion as a whole.

Socially-Informed Timeline Generation for Complex Events

no code implementations HLT 2015 Lu Wang, Claire Cardie, Galen Marchetti

Existing timeline generation systems for complex events consider only information from traditional media, ignoring the rich social context provided by user-generated content that reveals representative public interests or insightful opinions.
