Intent detection plays a crucial role in task-oriented conversational systems. To understand the user’s goal, the system relies on its intent detector to classify the user’s utterance, which may be expressed in different forms of natural language, into intent classes. However, lack of data, and the efficacy of intent detection systems has been hindered by the fact that the user’s intent text is typically characterized by short, general sentences and colloquial expressions. The process of algorithmically determining user intent from a given statement is known as intent detection. The goal of this study is to develop an intent detection model that will accurately classify and detect user intent. The model calculates the similarity score of the three models used to determine their similarities. The proposed model uses Contextual Semantic Search (CSS) capabilities for semantic search, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for topic modeling, the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) semantic matching technique, and the combination of LDA and BERT for text classification and detection. The dataset acquired is from the broad twitter corpus (BTC) and comprises various meta data. To prepare the data for analysis, a pre-processing step was applied. A sample of 1432 instances were selected out of the 5000 available datasets because manual annotation is required and could be time-consuming. To compare the performance of the model with the existing model, the similarity scores, precision, recall, f1 score, and accuracy were computed. The results revealed that LDA-BERT achieved an accuracy of 95.88% for intent detection, BERT with an accuracy of 93.84%, and LDA with an accuracy of 92.23%. This shows that LDA-BERT performs better than other models. It is hoped that the novel model will aid in ensuring information security and social media intelligence. For future work, an unsupervised LDA-BERT without any labeled data can be studied with the model.

Извлечение событий и персонажей из повествований является фундаментальной задачей при анализе и обработке текста на естественном языке. Методы извлечения событий применяются в самых разных областях — от обобщения различных документов до анализа медицинских записей. Мы определяли события на основе структуры под названием «четыре W» (кто, что, когда, где), чтобы охватить все основные компоненты событий, такие как действующие лица, действия, время и места. В этой статье мы рассмотрели два основных метода извлечения событий: статистический анализ синтаксических деревьев и семантическая маркировка ролей. Хотя эти методы были изучены разными исследователями по отдельности, мы напрямую сравнили эффективность двух подходов на собранном нами наборе данных, который мы разметили.

Наш анализ показал, что статистический анализ синтаксических деревьев превосходит семантическую маркировку ролей при выделении событий и символов, особенно при определении конкретных деталей. Тем не менее, семантическая маркировка ролей продемонстрировала хорошую эффективность при правильной идентификации действующих лиц. Мы оценили эффективность обоих подходов, сравнив различные показатели, такие как точность, отзывчивость и F1-баллы, продемонстрировав, таким образом, их соответствующие преимущества и ограничения.

Более того, в рамках нашей работы мы предложили различные варианты применения методов извлечения событий, которые мы планируем изучить в дальнейшем. Области, в которых мы хотим применить эти методы, включают анализ кода и установление авторства исходного кода. Мы рассматриваем возможность использования методов извлечения событий для определения ключевых элементов кода в виде назначений переменных и вызовов функций, что в дальнейшем может помочь ученым проанализировать поведение программ и определить участников проекта. Наша работа дает новое понимание эффективности статистического анализа и методов семантической маркировки ролей, предлагая исследователям новые направления для применения этих методов.

Events and character extraction from narratives is a fundamental task in text analysis. The application of event extraction techniques ranges from the summarization of different documents to the analysis of medical notes. We identify events based on a framework named “four W” (Who, What, When, Where) to capture all the essential components like the actors, actions, time, and places. In this paper, we explore two prominent techniques for event extraction: statistical parsing of syntactic trees and semantic role labeling. While these techniques were investigated by different researchers in isolation, we directly compare the performance of the two approaches on our custom dataset, which we have annotated.

Our analysis shows that statistical parsing of syntactic trees outperforms semantic role labeling in event and character extraction, especially in identifying specific details. Nevertheless, semantic role labeling demonstrate good performance in correct actor identification. We evaluate the effectiveness of both approaches by comparing different metrics like precision, recall, and F1-scores, thus, demonstrating their respective advantages and limitations.

Moreover, as a part of our work, we propose different future applications of event extraction techniques that we plan to investigate. The areas where we want to apply these techniques include code analysis and source code authorship attribution. We consider using event extraction to retrieve key code elements as variable assignments and function calls, which can further help us to analyze the behavior of programs and identify the project’s contributors. Our work provides novel understandings of the performance and efficiency of statistical parsing and semantic role labeling techniques, offering researchers new directions for the application of these techniques.
