Comparing Methods for Segmenting Elementary Discourse Units in a French Conversational Corpus
Résumé
While discourse segmentation and parsing has made considerable progress in recent years, discursive analysis of conversational speech remains a difficult issue. In this paper, we exploit a French data set that has been manually segmented into discourse units to compare two approaches to discourse segmentation: fine-tuning existing systems on manual segmentation vs. using hand-crafted labeling rules to develop a weakly supervised segmenter. Our results show that both approaches yield similar performance in terms of f-score while data programming requires less manual annotation work. In a second experiment we play with the amount of training data used for fine-tuning systems and show that a small amount of hand labeled data is enough to obtain good results (albeit not as good as when all available annotated data are used).
