    Publication number: 20220269868
    Abstract: A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for parsing multi-party dialogue. Dialogue data having one or more elementary discourse units is received. A local representation and a global representation are determined for each of the elementary discourse units based on performing a pairwise comparison on the elementary discourse units. Relationships between the elementary discourse units are identified based on the determined local and global representations. A contextual link is predicted between non-adjacent elementary discourse units based on the identified relationships.
