We show that hand-labeling efforts can be minimized by using unsupervised training on a large unlabeled data set combined with supervised training on a small amount of data. For ASR transcripts with over 45% WER, the system recovers nearly 80% of agree/disagree utterances with a confusion rate of only 3%.}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3115/1073483.1073495}, location = {Edmonton, Canada}, keywords = {agreement imported machinelearning } }
