Self-Attention for Incomplete Utterance Rewriting

Incomplete utterance rewriting (IUR) has recently become an essential task in NLP, aiming to complement the incomplete utterance with sufficient context information for comprehension. In this paper, we propose a novel method by directly extracting the coreference and omission relationship from the self-attention weight matrix of the transformer instead of word embeddings and edit the original text accordingly to generate the complete utterance. Benefiting from the rich information in the self-attention weight matrix, our method achieved competitive results on public IUR datasets.
