• Title: A survey of neural models for the automatic analysis of conversation: Towards a better integration of the social sciences
• Authors: Chlo\'e Clavel and Matthieu Labeau and Justine Cassell
• Abstract summary: New approaches to neural architectures for the analysis of conversation have been introduced over the past couple of years. They include neural architectures for detecting emotion, dialogue acts, and sentiment polarity. While the architectures themselves are extremely promising, the phenomena they have been applied to to date are but a small part of what makes conversation engaging.

• Abstract: Some exciting new approaches to neural architectures for the analysis of conversation have been introduced over the past couple of years. These include neural architectures for detecting emotion, dialogue acts, and sentiment polarity. They take advantage of some of the key attributes of contemporary machine learning, such as recurrent neural networks with attention mechanisms and transformer-based approaches. However, while the architectures themselves are extremely promising, the phenomena they have been applied to to date are but a small part of what makes conversation engaging. In this paper we survey these neural architectures and what they have been applied to. On the basis of the social science literature, we then describe what we believe to be the most fundamental and definitional feature of conversation, which is its co-construction over time by two or more interlocutors. We discuss how neural architectures of the sort surveyed could profitably be applied to these more fundamental aspects of conversation, and what this buys us in terms of a better analysis of conversation and even, in the longer term, a better way of generating conversation for a conversational system.

  Recent advancements in spoken dialogue models, exemplified by systems like GPT-4o, have captured significant attention in the speech domain. These advanced spoken dialogue models not only comprehend audio, music, and other speech-related features, but also capture stylistic and timbral characteristics in speech. Despite the progress in spoken dialogue systems, there is a lack of comprehensive surveys that systematically organize and analyze these systems.

• Emotion Recognition in Conversation using Probabilistic Soft Logic [17.62924003652853]
  emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) is a sub-field of emotion recognition that focuses on conversations that contain two or more utterances. We implement our approach in a framework called Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL), a declarative templating language. PSL provides functionality for the incorporation of results from neural models into PSL models. We compare our method with state-of-the-art purely neural ERC systems, and see almost a 20% improvement.
