A Multi-view Discourse Framework for Integrating Semantic and Syntactic Features in Dialog Agents
Multiturn dialogue models aim to generate human-like responses by leveraging conversational context, consisting of utterances from previous exchanges. Existing methods often neglect the interactions between these utterances or treat all of them as equally significant. This paper introduces a discourse-aware framework for response selection in retrieval-based dialogue systems. The proposed model first encodes each utterance and response with contextual, positional, and syntactic features using Multi-view Canonical Correlation Analysis (MCCA). It then learns discourse tokens that capture relationships between an utterance and its surrounding turns in a shared subspace via Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). This two-step approach effectively integrates semantic and syntactic features to build discourse-level understanding. Experiments on the Ubuntu Dialogue Corpus demonstrate that our model achieves significant improvements in automatic evaluation metrics, highlighting its effectiveness in response selection.

In this work, we are interested in the computation of logical representations of discourse. We argue that all discourse connectives are anaphors obeying different sets of constraints and show how this view allows one to …
