Discovering Conversational Dependencies Between Messages in Dialogs

Abstract

We investigate the task of inferring conversational dependencies between messages in one-on-one online chat, which has become one of the most popular forms of customer service. We propose a novel probabilistic classifier that leverages conversational, lexical and semantic information. The approach is evaluated empirically on a set of customer service chat logs from a Chinese e-commerce website. It outperforms heuristic baselines.
