Resolving It, This, and That in Unrestricted Multi-Party Dialog
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an implemented system for the resolution of it, this, and that in transcribed multi-party dialog. The system handles NP-anaphoric as well as discoursedeictic anaphors, i.e. pronouns with VP antecedents. Selectional preferences for NP or VP antecedents are determined on the basis of corpus counts. Our results show that the system performs significantly better than a recency-based baseline.

Resolving “You” in Multi-Party Dialog∗
This paper presents experiments into the resolution of “you” in multi-party dialog, dividing this process into two tasks: distinguishing between generic and referential uses; and then, for referential uses, identifying the referred-to addressee(s). On the first task we achieve an accuracy of 75% on multi-party data. We achieve an accuracy of 47% on determining the actual identity of the referen...

Nevertheless, several issues remain to be tackled, when unrestricted, spontaneous dialogue is concerned: barge-in (when users interrupt the system or interrupt each other) must be properly handled, hence Voice Activity Detection is a ...
متن کاملDirections For Multi-Party Human-Computer Interaction Research
Research on dialog systems has so far concentrated on interactions between a single user and a machine. In this paper we identify novel research directions arising from multi-party human computer interaction, i.e. scenarios where several human participants interact with a dialog system.
متن کاملReinforcement Learning of Multi-Party Trading Dialog Policies
Trading dialogs are a kind of negotiation in which an exchange of ownership of items is discussed, and these kinds of dialogs are pervasive in many situations. Recently, there has been an increasing amount of research on applying reinforcement learning (RL) to negotiation dialog domains. However, in previous research, the focus was on negotiation dialog between two participants only, ignoring c...
متن کاملKnowledge Sources for Bridging Resolution in Multi-Party Dialog
In this paper we investigate the coverage of the two knowledge sources WordNet and Wikipedia for the task of bridging resolution. We report on an annotation experiment which yielded pairs of bridging anaphors and their antecedents in spoken multi-party dialog. Manual inspection of the two knowledge sources showed that, with some interesting exceptions, Wikipedia is superior to WordNet when it c...
