立法议案讨论的话语分析:从听证会转录文本解析修辞结构

Discourse Analysis of Legislative Bill Discussions

AI 导读

研究提出一套端到端流水线,从立法委员会听证会转录文本中解析修辞结构,并给出修辞结构语法,发现数据集中 55.21% 的加州州级议案讨论可按该语法解析。在 100 场听证会、2000 余条标注话语上评测两个话语段落分类器,基于逻辑回归、结合语法输出掩码与话语标签平滑的分类器优于更复杂模型,F1 为 52.8%。

Abstract:Legislative hearings are distinct communication events with their own human recognizable structure and logic, yet they have been analyzed as distinct phenomena beyond their transcripts. Understanding legislative hearings at a deeper level is a major step in analyzing the work and power relationships within democratic bodies. In this work, we present a novel end-to-end pipeline for parsing rhetorical structures from legislative committee hearings with the goal of improving legislative discourse analysis and democratic accountability. We also propose a rhetorical structure grammar and find that 55.21% of California state bill discussions in our dataset can be parsed with this grammar. We evaluate our pipeline with two utterance section classifiers on a random subset of over 2,000 annotated utterances corresponding to 100 hearings. We find that a logistic regression-based classifier with grammar-based output masking and utterance tag smoothing outperforms more complex models, achieving an F1 score of 52.8% against our ground truth discourse section labels.
