Modeling Interpersonal Linguistic Coordination in Conversations using Word Mover’s Distance
Table 1: Correlation between empathy and various coordination measures
['Measure', 'Spearman’s correlation  [ITALIC] ρ', 'Spearman’s correlation  [ITALIC] p-value∗']
uCLiD and nCLiD, respectively) exhibit stronger correlation than the baselines. We also notice the improvement from normalization as nCLiD turns out to be the most highly correlated measure. The negative sign of the correlation values is justified for the proposed measures since we expect sessions with higher empathy to have higher coordination, and hence, lower distance. We also observe p-values lower than 0.05 indicating statistically significant association between empathy and the proposed measures.
