Discourse integration
Discourse integration is closely related to pragmatics. Discourse integration is considered as the larger context for any smaller part of NL structure. NL is so complex and, most of the time, sequences of text are dependent on prior discourse.
This concept occurs often in pragmatic ambiguity. This analysis deals with how the immediately preceding sentence can affect the meaning and interpretation of the next sentence. Here, context can be analyzed in a bigger context, such as paragraph level, document level, and so on.
Applications
Concepts of discourse integration have been used by following NLP applications:
- This concept often used in NLG applications.
- Chatbots, which are developed to deliver generalized AI. In this kind of application, deep learning has been used. We will see the NLG with deep learning in Chapter 9, Deep Learning for NLP and NLG Problems.
