no code implementations19 Nov 2020 Swati Padhee, Anurag Illendula, Megan Sadler, Valerie L. Shalin, Tanvi Banerjee, Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan, William L. Romine

Our experiments show that a combination of contextual and psycholinguistic features extracted by a Support Vector Machine improved distinguishing the verbal utterances of elderly controls, people with MCI, possible AD, and probable AD.

Discourse over Discourse: The Need for an Expanded Pragmatic Focus in Conversational AI

no code implementations27 Apr 2023 S. M. Seals, Valerie L. Shalin

The summarization of conversation, that is, discourse over discourse, elevates pragmatic considerations as a pervasive limitation of both summarization and other applications of contemporary conversational AI.
