Clarifying Intentions in Dialogue: A Corpus Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
As part of our ongoing work on grounding in dialogue, we present a corpus-based investigation of intention-level clarification requests. We propose to refine existing theories of grounding by considering two distinct types of intention-related conversational problems: intention recognition and intention adoption. This distinction is backed-up by an annotation experiment conducted on a corpus assembled with a novel method for automatically retrieving potential requests for clarification.

Example-based Speech Intention Understanding and Its Application to In-Car Spoken Dialogue System
This paper proposes a method of speech intention understanding based on dialogue examples. The method uses a spoken dialogue corpus with intention tags to regard the intention of each input utterance as that of the sentence to which it is the most similar in the corpus. The degree of similarity is calculated according to the degree of correspondence in morphemes and dependencies between sentenc...
متن کاملConstruction of an advanced in-car spoken dialogue corpus and its characteristic analysis
This paper describes an advanced spoken language corpus which has been constructed by enhancing an in-car speech database. The corpus has the following characteristic features: (1) Advanced tag: Not only linguistic phenomena tags but also advanced discourse tags such as sentential structures, and utterance intentions, have been provided for the transcribed texts. (2) Large-scale: The sentential...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Dirichlet Process Mixture Model with Application to Dialogue Act Classification
Recognition of user intentions is one of the most challenging problems in the design of dialogue systems. These intentions are usually coded in terms of Dialogue Acts (Following Austin’s work on speech act theory), where a functional role is assigned to each utterance of a conversation. Manual annotation of dialogue acts is both time consuming and expensive, therefore there is a huge interest i...
متن کاملTowards a dialogue system that supports rich visualizations of data
The goal of our research is to support fullfledged dialogue between a user and a system that transforms the user queries into visualizations. So far, we have collected a corpus where users explore data via visualizations; we have annotated the corpus for user intentions; and we have developed the core NL-to-visualization pipeline.
متن کاملAn Integrated Neural Network Model for Domain Action Determination in Goal-Oriented Dialogues
A speaker’s intentions can be represented by domain actions (domainindependent speech act and domain-dependent concept sequence pairs). Therefore, it is essential that domain actions be determined when implementing dialogue systems because a dialogue system should determine users’ intentions from their utterances and should create counterpart intentions to the users’ intentions. In this paper, ...
