Abstract

Classification of dialogue acts constitutes an integral part of various natural language processing applications. In this paper, we present an application of this task to Urdu language online multi-party discourse. With language specific modifications to established techniques such as permutation of word order in detected n-grams and variation of n-gram location, we developed an approach that is novel to this language. Preliminary performance results when compared to baseline are very encouraging for this approach.
