Abstract: Question Under Discussion (QUD), which is originally a linguistic analytic framework, gains increasing attention in the community of natural language processing over the years. Various models have been proposed for implementing QUD for discourse processing. This survey summarizes these models, with a focus on application to written texts, and examines studies that explore the relationship between QUD and mainstream discourse frameworks, including RST, PDTB and SDRT. Some questions that may require further study are suggested.

QUDEVAL: The Evaluation of Questions Under Discussion Discourse Parsing [87.20804165014387]
Questions Under Discussion (QUD) is a versatile linguistic framework in which discourse progresses as continuously asking questions and answering them. This work introduces the first framework for the automatic evaluation of QUD parsing. We present QUDeval, a dataset of fine-grained evaluation of 2,190 QUD questions generated from both fine-tuned systems and LLMs.

Discourse Analysis via Questions and Answers: Parsing Dependency Structures of Questions Under Discussion [57.43781399856913]
This work adopts the linguistic framework of Questions Under Discussion (QUD) for discourse analysis. We characterize relationships between sentences as free-form questions, in contrast to exhaustive fine-grained questions. We develop the first-of-its-kind QUD that derives a dependency structure of questions over full documents.

Probing Task-Oriented Dialogue Representation from Language Models [106.02947285212132]
This paper investigates pre-trained language models to find out which model intrinsically carries the most informative representation for task-oriented dialogue tasks. We fine-tune a feed-forward layer as the classifier probe on top of a fixed pre-trained language model with annotated labels in a supervised way.

Modeling Topical Relevance for Multi-Turn Dialogue Generation [61.87165077442267]
We propose a new model, named STAR-BTM, to tackle the problem of topic drift in multi-turn dialogue. The Biterm Topic Model is pre-trained on the whole training dataset. Then, the topic level attention weights are computed based on the topic representation of each context. Experimental results on both Chinese customer services data and English Ubuntu dialogue data show that STAR-BTM significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art methods.
