title = "Making semantic topicality robust through term abstraction",
abstract = "Despite early intuitions, semantic similarity has not proven to be robust for splitting multiparty interactions into separate conversations. We discuss some initial successes with using thesaural headwords to abstract the semantics of an utterance. This simple profiling technique showed improvements over baseline conversation threading models.",
