We propose a new model, named Dialogue BERT (DialBERT), which integrates local and global semantics in a single stream of messages to disentangle the conversations that mixed together. We employ BERT to capture the matching information in each utterance pair at the utterance-level, and use a BiLSTM to aggregate and incorporate the context-level information. With only a 3% increase in parameters, a 12% improvement has been attained in comparison to BERT, based on the F1-Score. The model achieves a state-of-the-art result on the a new dataset proposed by IBM and surpasses previous work by a substantial margin.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.03760v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.03760v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dialbert-a-hierarchical-pre-trained-model-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/TeddLi/Disentangle","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"conversation-disentanglement","task_name":"Conversation Disentanglement"},{"task_slug":"disentanglement","task_name":"Disentanglement"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"adam","method_name":"Adam"},{"method_slug":"attention","method_name":"Attention"},{"method_slug":"attention-dropout","method_name":"Attention Dropout"},{"method_slug":"bert","method_name":"BERT"},{"method_slug":"bilstm","method_name":"BiLSTM"},{"method_slug":"dense-connections","method_name":"Dense Connections"},{"method_slug":"dropout","method_name":"Dropout"},{"method_slug":"lstm","method_name":"LSTM"},{"method_slug":"layer-normalization","method_name":"Layer Normalization"},{"method_slug":"linear-layer","method_name":"Linear Layer"},{"method_slug":"linear-warmup-with-linear-decay","method_name":"Linear Warmup With Linear Decay"},{"method_slug":"multi-head-attention","method_name":"Multi-Head Attention"},{"method_slug":"residual-connection","method_name":"Residual Connection"},{"method_slug":"sigmoid-activation","method_name":"Sigmoid Activation"},{"method_slug":"softmax","method_name":"Softmax"},{"method_slug":"tanh-activation","method_name":"Tanh Activation"},{"method_slug":"weight-decay","method_name":"Weight Decay"},{"method_slug":"wordpiece","method_name":"WordPiece"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2004.03760","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
