Feedback on Linking Sentences in Asynchronous Conversations

Hi Abed, thank you for the feedback!

I agree that I try to cram too much into individual sentences at times; I'll take a quick pass over the areas you mentioned and see what I can do.

Regarding your other point, I'm not quite sure if I understand your meaning, but my reasoning went like this:

• Given an asynchronous conversation, let's call the set of all its sentences S, and the set of all its linked pairs of sentences L. If I randomly choose pairs of sentences from S, it is possible for some of the pairs to be in L.

If you're asking if there would be some use in looking at sentence pairs where each sentence is from a different conversation, I'm not sure that there would be too much use there. The end goal is to determine which pairs of sentences in an asynchronous conversation are linked, which means figuring out how to distinguish between linked sentence pairs and not-linked sentence pairs in the same conversation. If I had had a single dataset with annotations for linked sentences, not-linked sentences, and topic information, that would have been ideal.
