Learning dialogue structures from a corpus

چکیده
This paper demonstrates some aspects of a plan processor which is a subcomponent of the dialogue module of verb-mobil. We describe how we transfer results from the research area of grammar extraction for the semi-automatic acquisition of plan operators for turn classes. We exploit statistical knowledge acquired during learning the grammar and incorporate top down predictions to enhance the correct analysis of turn classes described. A rst evaluation shows a relative recognition rate of around 70% on unseen data.

Dialogue-Learning Correlations in Spoken Dialogue Tutoring
We examine correlations between dialogue characteristics and learning in two corpora of spoken tutoring dialogues: a human-human corpus and a humancomputer corpus, both of which have been manually annotated with dialogue acts relative to the tutoring domain. The results from our human-computer corpus show that the presence of student utterances that display reasoning, as well as the presence of...
متن کاملHidden Softmax Sequence Model for Dialogue Structure Analysis
We propose a new unsupervised learning model, hidden softmax sequence model (HSSM), based on Boltzmann machine for dialogue structure analysis. The model employs three types of units in the hidden layer to discovery dialogue latent structures: softmax units which represent latent states of utterances; binary units which represent latent topics specified by dialogues; and a binary unit that repr...
متن کاملAn Annotated Corpus of Film Dialogue for Learning and Characterizing Character Style
Interactive story systems often involve dialogue with virtual dramatic characters. However, to date most character dialogue is written by hand. One way to ease the authoring process is to (semi-)automatically generate dialogue based on film characters. We extract features from dialogue of film characters in leading roles. Then we use these character-based features to drive our language generato...
متن کاملCorrelations between dialogue acts and learning in spoken tutoring dialogues
We examine correlations between dialogue behaviors and learning in tutoring, using two corpora of spoken tutoring dialogues: a human-human corpus and a human-computer corpus. To formalize the notion of dialogue behavior, we manually annotate our data using a tagset of student and tutor dialogue acts relative to the tutoring domain. A unigram analysis of our annotated data shows that student lea...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection of Poor Speech Recognition at the Dialogue Level
The dialogue strategies used by a spoken dialogue system strongly influence performance and user satisfaction. An ideal system would not use a single fixed strategy, but would adapt to the circumstances at hand. To do so, a system must be able to identify dialogue properties that suggest adaptation. This paper focuses on identifying situations where the speech recognizer is performing poorly. W...
