Weighting Model Based on Group Dynamics to Measure Convergence in Multi-party Dialogue
Zahra Rahimi, Diane J. Litman · 2018
This paper proposes a new weighting method for extending a dyad-level measure of convergence to multi-party dialogues by considering group dynamics instead of simply averaging.Experiments indicate the usefulness of the proposed weighted measure and also show that in general a proper weighting of the dyadlevel measures performs better than nonweighted averaging in multiple tasks.
