The expert conditional distributions are defined P α (y|x, λ α ) using the usual conditional random field formulation: and each feature function f α,k (y j−1 , y j , x, j) is either a state function s k (y j , x, j) or a transition function t k (y j−1 , y j , x, j).
humans are good at this: they have an amazing ability to predict, at a micro-level, the actions of an interlocutor (Bavelas et al., 2000); and we know that better predictions can correlate with more empathy and better outcomes (Goldberg, 2005;Fuchs, 1987).
