{"pk":31785,"title":"A Connectionist Model of Speech Act Prediction","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We developed a connectionist architecture that accounts\nfor the systematicity in the sequentialOTderingof speech\nact categories. That is, to what extent can the category\nof speech act n+1 be successfully predicted given speech\nacts 1 through n? Three connectionist architectures\nwere contrasted: Elman's recurrent network, a single-\nentry backpropagation network, and a double-entry\nbackpropagation network. T h e recurrent networkfit the\nspeech act sequences in naturalistic conversation better\nthan the backpropagation networks. M o s t of the\nsystematicity w a s captured by the network's use of 2 to\n3 prior speech acts of context.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4s19k6qm","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Shane","middle_name":"S.","last_name":"Swamer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Memphis State University","department":""},{"first_name":"Arthur","middle_name":"C.","last_name":"Graesser","name_suffix":"","institution":"Memphis State University","department":""},{"first_name":"Stanley","middle_name":"P.","last_name":"Franklin","name_suffix":"","institution":"Memphis State University","department":""},{"first_name":"Marie","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Sell","name_suffix":"","institution":"Memphis State University","department":""},{"first_name":"Robert","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cohen","name_suffix":"","institution":"Memphis State University","department":""},{"first_name":"William","middle_name":"B.","last_name":"Baggett","name_suffix":"","institution":"Memphis State University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31785/galley/22853/download/"}]}
