Toward Fast and Accurate Neural Discourse Segmentation
Table 2: Speed comparison with two open-sourced discourse segmenter
['System', 'Speed (Sents/s)', 'Speedup']
The Two-Pass system has the best performance among all existing methods, while SPADE is much simpler with less features. We test these systems on the same machine (CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2690, GPU: NVIDIA Tesla P100). The results show that our system is 2.4-6.5 times faster than the compared systems if the batch size is 1. Moreover, if we process the test sentences in parallel, we can achieve 20.2-54.8 times speedup with the batch size as 32. This makes our system more practical in actually use.
