Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3213))

Abstract

This paper proposes a robust algorithm for extracting topic threads in chat conversations using some language devices and discusses how chat conversations can contribute to knowledge creation using the history of chat conversations and our proposed algorithm. There are two promised applications: 1) an automatically generated knowledge-base and 2) a supporting system for chat conversations by editing the history of chat conversations.
