Specification of a Shallow Dialog Analysis Model

An Overview of Shallow Xml-based Natural Language Generation

The paper gives an overview of shallow XML-based natural language generation, including XML pipeline architectures, text planning with XSLT templates, and transformations from text plan trees to text specification trees. The work is based on practical experience in a spoken dialogue system, and examples from this system are presented.

A model for specification, composition and verification of access control policies and its application to web services

Despite significant advances in the access control domain, requirements of new computational environments like web services still raise new challenges. Lack of appropriate method for specification of access control policies (ACPs), composition, verification and analysis of them have all made the access control in the composition of web services a complicated problem. In this paper, a new indepe...

Building and Using a Corpus of Shallow Dialogue Annotated Meetings

In this paper we provide a framework for shallow dialog annotations (SDA), and for their use in the context of the processing and retrieval of multimodal meeting recordings. The SDA model groups the following elements: dialog segmentation into utterances and episodes, detection of dialog acts and adjacency pairs, and detection of referring expressions and coreference links, including references...

A Generic Model for Dialog Specification

This article deals with the dialog specification for interactive applications. Most of existing models are based on transition diagrams, but they give too attention to implementation considerations. Therefore, we reconunend a new model completely independent of any implcmentation problem. The dialog is broken down into a serics of queries, responses, results. This generic model is the main tool...
