DSNDM: Deep Siamese Neural Discourse Model with Attention for Text Pairs Categorization and Ranking
P. 76–85.
Chernyavskiy A., Ilvovsky D.
In this paper, the utility and advantages of the discourse analysis for text pairs categorization and ranking are investigated. We consider two tasks in which discourse structure seems useful and important: automatic verification of political statements, and ranking in question answering systems. We propose a neural network based approach to learn the match between pairs of discourse tree structures. To this end, the neural TreeLSTM model is modified to effectively encode discourse trees and DSNDM model based on it is suggested to analyze pairs of texts. In addition, the integration of the attention mechanism in the model is proposed. Moreover, different ranking approaches are investigated for the second task. In the paper, the comparison with state-of-the-art methods is given. Experiments illustrate that combination of neural networks and discourse structure in DSNDM is effective since it reaches top results in the assigned tasks. The evaluation also demonstrates that discourse analysis improves quality for the processing of longer texts.

The effects of emotional distraction might differ depending on the valence and arousal of induced affective states. Nevertheless, insufficient complexity of a cognitive task might affect the ability of participants to allocate attention resources for the successful examination of emotional stimuli and task performance. This is why, in previous research, indicators of accuracy and response ...

Understanding how artificial intelligence models make decisions is important, especially for difficult tasks like detecting deepfakes, where it's not enough to just get a result – it needs to know why the model made that choice. Many current methods, like Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM), help explain these decisions, but ...

The present review aims to examine the current state of research in the field of cognitive-digital interaction (CDI). CDI is a field of fundamental research studying the regularities of cognitive processes under the influence of digital environment. The article defines key concepts, such as “cognitive system”, “environment”, and “artifact” and exploring theoretical frameworks for the ...

The digital environment surrounds us everywhere. However, little is known about the differences between digital and real environments impact on cognitive functions. Initially, the present study aims to juxtapose attention and working memory (WM) under digital and real conditions. In Experiment 1, attention and WM were compared under real (paper) and digital (computer) conditions using ...

The purpose of this research was to investigate the cognitive mechanisms underlying the ability to read musical notations. Reading musical notations requires efficient integration of auditory and visual stimuli. Such integration is likely to be provided by means of functional connectivity between different brain regions. Furthermore, it should require maintaining a certain level of continuous ...

Recent language models have significantly boosted conversational AI by enabling fast and cost-effective response generation in dialogue systems. However, dialogue systems based on neural generative approaches often lack truthfulness, reliability, and the ability to analyze the dialogue flow needed for smooth and consistent conversations with users. To address these issues, we introduce GroundHog, a modified ...

Crossmodal plasticity occurs when sensory regions of the brain adapt to process sensory inputs from different modalities. This is seen in cases of congenital and early deafness and blindness, where, in the absence of their typical inputs, auditory and visual cortices respond to other sensory information. Crossmodal plasticity in deaf and blind individuals impacts several ...

We extend the concept of a discourse tree (DT) in the discourse representation of text towards data of various forms and natures. The communicative DT to include speech act theory, extended DT to ascend to the level of multiple documents, entity DT to track how discourse covers various entities were defined previously in computational linguistics, we now proceed ...

Background Emotional states in the short term and affective impairments, such as anxiety and depression in the long run, can have a significant impact on postural control. Individuals with these conditions often struggle with maintaining balance during emotionally charged situations, which can increase their risk of falls and injuries. Biofeedback has been proposed as a ...

Recent transformer-based approaches to multi-party conversation generation may produce syntactically coherent but discursively inconsistent dialogues in some cases. To address this issue, we propose an approach to integrate a dialogue act planning stage into the end-to-end transformer-based generation pipeline. This approach consists of a transformer fine-tuning procedure based on linearized dialogue representations that include special ...

The philosophical concept of anxiety, which is usually associated with Kierkegaard and Heidegger's existential philosophy, seems to be an underestimated notion in Paul Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics, while its role is important - anxiety appears to serve as the grounding for hope in his hermeneutics of self.

The main aim of this study was to examine how happiness and anxiety influence emotional Stroop effect. According to the principle of emotion congruence, information processing is facilitated if its emotional tone matches an individual’s mood. The first hypothesis suggested that emotional Stroop effect would be greater with stimuli incongruent with a participant’s emotional state. ...

Recent transformer-based approaches to NLG like GPT-2 can generate syntactically coherent original texts. However, these generated texts have serious flaws: global discourse incoherence and meaninglessness of sentences in terms of entity values. We address both of these flaws: they are independent but can be combined to generate original texts that will be both consistent and ...
