measure(ment),17-4-P03-1031,bq By holding multiple <term> candidates </term> for <term> understanding </term> results and resolving the <term> ambiguity </term> as the <term> dialogue </term> progresses , the <term> discourse understanding accuracy </term> can be improved .
tech,16-6-P03-1031,bq Unlike conventional methods that use <term> hand-crafted rules </term> , the proposed <term> method </term> enables easy design of the <term> discourse understanding process </term> .
other,20-3-C04-1128,bq We show that various <term> features </term> based on the structure of <term> email-threads </term> can be used to improve upon <term> lexical similarity </term> of <term> discourse segments </term> for <term> question-answer pairing </term> .

other,12-3-N04-1024,bq This system identifies <term> features </term> of <term> sentences </term> based on <term> semantic similarity measures </term> and <term> discourse structure </term> .
other,22-4-N04-1024,bq A <term> support vector machine </term> uses these <term> features </term> to capture <term> breakdowns in coherence </term> due to relatedness to the <term> essay question </term> and relatedness between <term> discourse elements </term> .

other,20-1-J86-3001,bq In this paper we explore a new <term> theory of discourse structure </term> that stresses the role of <term> purpose </term> and <term> processing </term> in <term> discourse </term> .
other,4-2-J86-3001,bq In this theory , <term> discourse structure </term> is composed of three separate but interrelated components : the structure of the sequence of <term> utterances </term> ( called the <term> linguistic structure </term> ) , a structure of <term> purposes </term> ( called the <term> intentional structure </term> ) , and the state of <term> focus of attention </term> ( called the <term> attentional state </term> ) .
other,8-3-J86-3001,bq The <term> linguistic structure </term> consists of segments of the <term> discourse </term> into which the <term> utterances </term> naturally aggregate .
other,16-5-J86-3001,bq The <term> attentional state </term> is an abstraction of the <term> focus of attention </term> of the <term> participants </term> as the <term> discourse </term> unfolds .
other,23-6-J86-3001,bq The <term> attentional state </term> , being dynamic , records the objects , properties , and relations that are salient at each point of the <term> discourse </term> .
other,14-7-J86-3001,bq The distinction among these components is essential to provide an adequate explanation of such <term> discourse phenomena </term> as <term> cue phrases </term> , <term> referring expressions </term> , and <term> interruptions </term> .
other,3-9-J86-3001,bq Various properties of <term> discourse </term> are described , and explanations for the behaviour of <term> cue phrases </term> , <term> referring expressions </term> , and <term> interruptions </term> are explored .
other,13-10-J86-3001,bq This <term> theory </term> provides a framework for describing the processing of <term> utterances </term> in a <term> discourse </term> .
other,9-11-J86-3001,bq <term> Discourse processing </term> requires recognizing how the <term> utterances </term> of the <term> discourse </term> aggregate into <term> segments </term> , recognizing the <term> intentions </term> expressed in the <term> discourse </term> and the relationships among <term> intentions </term> , and tracking the <term> discourse </term> through the operation of the mechanisms associated with <term> attentional state </term> .
