Automatically extracted interpersonal relationships
of conversation interlocutors can enrich
personal knowledge bases to enhance personalized
search, recommenders and chatbots. To
infer speakers’ relationships from dialogues
we propose PRIDE, a neural multi-label classifier,
based on BERT and Transformer for creating
a conversation representation. PRIDE
utilizes the dialogue structure and augments
it with external knowledge about speaker features
and conversation style. Unlike prior
works, we address multi-label prediction of
fine-grained relationships. We release largescale
datasets, based on screenplays of movies
and TV shows, with directed relationships of
conversation participants. Extensive experiments
on both datasets show superior performance
of PRIDE compared to the state-of-theart
baselines.

5G - In Person Poster Session

EMNLP 2021 is planned to be a hybrid event in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with both on-site and fully virtual participation possible. The experience for on-site participants would closely approximate a normal pre-COVID *ACL conference, with 5-6 thematically organized parallel sessions and live Q/A and interactive discussion immediately after the talks. Presentations by virtual participants will be equitably interleaved with those of on-site participants, projected on the auditorium screens as if on-site, and also followed immediately by live Q/A and interactive discussion at a time during reasonable waking hours for the virtual presenter. For all participants, on-site and virtual, who are unable to attend a session due to either time-zone issues or because they are participating in another session live, talk recordings and slides will be available online at a minimum after the live presentation (and in many cases before as well), and questions may be submitted in advance on session-specific discussion boards and answered live in session with the usual visual aids if desired.
