Dialogue Act Recognition via CRF-Attentive Structured Network
Dialogue Act Recognition (DAR) is a challenging problem in dialogue
interpretation, which aims to attach semantic labels to utterances and
characterize the speaker's intention. Currently, many existing approaches
formulate the DAR problem ranging from multi-classification to structured
prediction, which suffer from handcrafted feature extensions and attentive
contextual structural dependencies. In this paper, we consider the problem of
DAR from the viewpoint of extending richer Conditional Random Field (CRF)
structural dependencies without abandoning end-to-end training. We incorporate
hierarchical semantic inference with memory mechanism on the utterance
modeling. We then extend structured attention network to the linear-chain
conditional random field layer which takes into account both contextual
utterances and corresponding dialogue acts. The extensive experiments on two
major benchmark datasets Switchboard Dialogue Act (SWDA) and Meeting Recorder
Dialogue Act (MRDA) datasets show that our method achieves better performance
than other state-of-the-art solutions to the problem. It is a remarkable fact
that our method is nearly close to the human annotator's performance on SWDA
within 2% gap.Comment: 10 pages, 4figure
Delving Deeper into Convolutional Networks for Learning Video Representations
We propose an approach to learn spatio-temporal features in videos from
intermediate visual representations we call "percepts" using
Gated-Recurrent-Unit Recurrent Networks (GRUs).Our method relies on percepts
that are extracted from all level of a deep convolutional network trained on
the large ImageNet dataset. While high-level percepts contain highly
discriminative information, they tend to have a low-spatial resolution.
Low-level percepts, on the other hand, preserve a higher spatial resolution
from which we can model finer motion patterns. Using low-level percepts can
leads to high-dimensionality video representations. To mitigate this effect and
control the model number of parameters, we introduce a variant of the GRU model
that leverages the convolution operations to enforce sparse connectivity of the
model units and share parameters across the input spatial locations.
We empirically validate our approach on both Human Action Recognition and
Video Captioning tasks. In particular, we achieve results equivalent to
state-of-art on the YouTube2Text dataset using a simpler text-decoder model and
without extra 3D CNN features.Comment: ICLR 201
