Summary:In the field of Information Science, few of previous methods analyze the discussion process which represents how the discussion was conducted. A Dialog act is an utterance, in the context of a conversational dialog, that serves a function in the dialog. Dialog acts are assigned to utterances as labels. Transitions of dialog acts with a high appearance rate are extracted. The transitions are connected if the same dialog act is in both transitions to make a directed graph of dialog acts. We assume that the directed graph represents a model of the discussion process. A directed graph for the high-quality discussion process is compared with that for the low-quality discussion process to investigate suggestions for low-quality discussions. We evaluated our method and verified the efficiency.
