"text": "The study of conversational transcripts is a key domain in this new frontier. There are certain social and behavioral phenomena in conversation that cannot be easily identified through questionnaire data, self-reported surveys, or easily extracted user metadata. Examples of these social phenomena in conversation include overt displays of power (Prabhakaran et al., 2012) or indicators of rapport and relationship building (Wang et al., 2012) . Manually annotating these social phenomena cannot scale to large data, so researchers turn to automated annotation of transcripts (Ros\u00e9 et al., 2008) . While machine learning is highly effective for annotation tasks with relatively balanced labels, such as sentiment analysis (Pang and Lee, 2004) , more complex social functions are often rarer. This leads to unbalanced class label distributions and a much more difficult machine learning task. Moreover, features indicative of rare social annotations tend to be drowned out in favor of features biased towards the majority class. The net effect is that classification algorithms tend to bias towards the majority class, giving low accuracy for rare class detection.",

For example, real-time annotation of conversation can power adaptive intervention in collaborative learning settings (Rummel et al., 2008; Adamson and Ros\u00e9, 2012) . However, with the considerable power of automation comes great responsibility. It is critical to avoid intervening in the case of erroneous annotations, as providing unnecessary or inappropriate support in such a setting has been shown to be harmful to group performance and social cohesion (Dillenbourg, 2002; Stahl, 2012) .",

Our primary contribution comes in the form of withininstance content selection. We develop a novel algorithm based on textual cues, suppressing information which is likely to be irrelevant to an instance's class label. This allows features which predict minority classes to gain prominence, helping to sidestep the frequency of common features pointing to a majority class label.",

We introduce the domain of empowerment in support contexts, along with previous studies on the challenges that these annotations (and similar others) bring to machine learning. We introduce our new technique for improving the ability to automate this annotation, along with other optimizations to the machine learning workflow which are tailored to this skewed class balance. We present experimental results showing that our method is effective, and provide a detailed analysis of the behavior of our model and the features it uses most. We conclude with a discussion of particularly useful applications of this work.",

"text": "We ground this paper's discussion of machine learning with a real problem, turning to the annotation of empowerment language in chat 1 . The concept of empowerment, while a prolific area of research, lacks a broad definition across professionals, but broadly relates to \"the power to act efficaciously to bring about desired results\" (Boehm and Staples, 2002) and \"experiencing personal growth as a result of developing skills and abilities along with a more positive self-definition\" (Staples, 1990) .

Pioneering work has demonstrated the ability to distinguish empowerment language in written texts, including prompted writing samples (Pennebaker and Seagal, 1999) , nar- et al., 2005) , and some preliminary analysis of synchronous discussion (Ogura et al., 2008; Mayfield et al., 2012b) . These transitional works have used limited analysis methodology; in the absence of sophisticated natural language processing, their conclusions often rely on coarse measures, such as word counts and proportions of annotations in a text. Users, of course, do not express empowerment in every thread in which they participate, which leads to a challenge for machine learning. Threads often focus on a single user's experiences, in which most participants in a chat are merely commentators, if they participate at all, matching previous research on shifts in speaker salience over time (Hassan et al., 2008) . This leads to many user threads which are annotated as not applicable (N/A). We move to our proposed approach with these skewed distributions in mind.",

This data was disentangled into threads based on common themes or topics, as in prior work (Elsner and Charniak, 2010; Adams and Martel, 2010) . A novel peruser, per-thread annotation was then employed for empowerment annotation, following a coding manual based on definitions like those in Section 2. Each user was assigned a label of positive or negative empowerment if they exhibited such emotions, or was left blank if they did not do so within the context of that thread. This annotation was performed both for their self-empowerment as well as their attitude towards others' situations (other-empowerment). An example of this annotation for self-empowerment is presented in Figure 1 and the distribution of labels is given in Table 1. Most previous annotation tasks attempt to annotate on a per-utterance basis, such as dialogue act tagging (Popescu-Belis, 2008), or on arbitrary spans of text, such as in the MPQA subjectivity corpus (Wiebe et al., 2005) . However, for our task, a per-user, per-thread annotation is more appropriate, because empowerment is often indicated best through narrative (Hoybye et al., 2005) . Human annotators are instructed to take this context into account when annotating (Mayfield et al., 2012b) . It would therefore be nonsensical to annotate individual lines as \"embodying\" empowerment. Similar arguments have been made for sentiment, especially as the field moves towards aspect-oriented sentiment (Breck et al., 2007) . Assigning labels based on thread boundaries allows for context to be meaningfully taken into account, without crossing topic boundaries.",

In our data, the vast majority of users' threads are marked as not applicable to empowerment. Perhaps more inconveniently, while taking context into account is important for reliable annotation, it leads to extraneous information in many cases. Many threads can have multiple lines of contributions that are topically related to an expression of empowerment (and thus belong in the same thread), but which do not indicate any empowerment themselves. This exacerbates the likelihood of instances being classified as N/A. We choose to take advantage of these attributes of threads. We know from research in discourse analysis that many sections of conversations are formulaic and rote, like introductions and greetings (Schegloff, 1968) . We additionally know that polarity often shifts in dialogue through the use of discourse connectives such as conjunctions and transitional phrases. These issues have been addressed in work in the language technologies community, most notably through the Penn Discourse Treebank (Prasad et al., 2008) ; however, their applications to noisier synchronous conversation has beenrare in computational linguistics.",

Second, we define a feature for each category in the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count dictionary (Tausczik and Pennebaker, 2010) -these broad classes of words allow for more balanced Figure 3 : Precision/recall curves for algorithms.

While accuracy remains stable, this is due to predictions shifting away from the majority class and towards minority classes. Our combined model using both logistic model tree stumps and content selection is significantly better than either alone (p < .01). To compare the minority pandemonium voting method against baselines of simple pandemonium and summed confidence voting, Table 3 presents the results of content selection wrappers with each voting method. Minority voting is more effective compared to standard confidence voting, improving \u03ba while modestly reducing accuracy; this is typical of a shift towards minority class predictions.",

"text": "These results show promise for our techniques, which are able to distinguish features of rare labels, previously awash in a sea of irrelevance. Figure 3 shows the impact of our rules as we tune to different levels of recall, with a large boost in precision when recall is not important; our model converges with the baseline for high-recall, lowprecision tuning. This suggests that our method is particularly suitable for tasks where confident la- beling of a few instances is more important than labeling as many instances as possible. This is common when tasks have a high cost or carry high risk (for instance, providing real-time conversational supports with an agent, where inappropriate intervention could be disruptive). Other low-recall applications include exploration large corpora for exemplar instances, where the most confident predictions for a given label should be presented first for analyst use. In the rest of this section, we examine notable within-instance and per-instance rules selected by our methods. These rules are summarized in Tables 4 and 5. For both self-and other-empowerment, we find pronoun rules that match the task (first-person and second-person pronouns for self-Empowerment and other-Empowerment respectively). In both tasks, we find cue rules that suppress the context preceding personal pronouns. These, as well as the possessive suffix 's, echo the per-instance effect of the Self and You splits, anticipating that what follows such a personal reference is likely to bear an evaluation of empowerment. Exclamation marks may indicate strong emotion -we find many instances where what precedes a line with an exclamation is more objective, and what follows includes an assessment. Conjunctions but and and are selected as cue rules suppressing the two lines that follow the occurrence -suggesting, as suspected, that connective discourse markers play a role in indicating empowerment (Fraser, 1999) .",

The split on line length corresponds to the observation that longer instances provide greater opportunity for personal narrative self-assessment to occur (95% of single-line instances are labeled NA). The Article category may serve as a proxy for content length -article-less instances in our corpus include one-line social greetings and exchanges of contact information. Swear words may be a cue for awareness of self-empowerment -a recent study of women coping with illness reported that swearing in the presence of others, but not alone, was related to potentially harmful outcomes (Robbins et al., 2011) . Among other-oriented split rules, Eating stands out as non-obvious, although medical literature has suggested a link between dietary behavior and empowerment attitudes in a study of women with cancer (Pinto et al., 2002) .",

"text": "We have demonstrated an algorithm for improving automated classification accuracy on highly skewed tasks for conversational data. This algorithm, particularly its focus on content selection, is rooted in the structural format of our data, which can generalize to many tasks involving conversational data. Our experiments show that this model significantly improves machine learning performance. Our algorithm is taking advantage of structural facets of discourse markers, lending basic sociolinguistic validity to its behavior. Though we have treated each of these rarely-occurring labels as independent thus far, in practice we know that this is not the case. Joint prediction of labels through structured modeling is an obvious next step for improving classification accuracy. This is an important step towards large-scale analysis of the impact of support groups on patients and caregivers. Our method can be used to confidently highlight occurrences of rare labels in large data sets. This has real-world implications for professional intervention in social conversational domains, especially in scenarios where such an intervention is likely to be associated with a high cost or high risk. With the construction of more accurate classifiers, we open the possibility of automating annotation on large conversational datasets, enabling new directions for researchers with domain expertise.",
