NLP与AI研究中的“Dialogue”与“Dialog”：来自困惑语境的统计数据
摘要
在计算领域，存在两种拼写形式用于一个日益重要的术语——对话和dialog。我们分析了数千篇研究论文，以了解这个“dialog(ue) 混乱”问题。among publications in top venues that use "dialog(ue)" in the title or abstract, 72% use "dialogue", 24% use "dialog", and 5% use both in the same title and abstract. This split distribution is more common in Computing than any other academic discipline. We investigate trends over ~20 years of NLP/AI research, not finding clear evidence of a shift over time. Author nationality is weakly correlated with spelling choice, but far from explains the mixed use. Many prolific authors publish papers with both spellings. We use several methods (such as syntactic parses and LM embeddings) to study how dialog(ue) context influences spelling, finding limited influence. Combining these results together, we discuss different theories that might explain the dialog(ue) divergence.
