Contextual Phenomena And Thematic Relations In Database QA Dialogues: Results From A Wizard-Of-Oz Experiment

چکیده
Considering data obtained from a corpus of database QA dialogues, we address the nature of the discourse structure needed to resolve the several kinds of contextual phenomena found in our corpus. We look at the thematic relations holding between questions and the preceding context and discuss to which extent thematic relatedness plays a role in discourse structure.

متن کاملWizard of Oz experiments and companion dialogues
Novel speech systems such as the conversational agents being developed by the Companions Project (www.companions-project.org) can be simulated using the Wizard of Oz methodology. In this approach technologies that are not yet ready for testing by people are replaced by a human, both for prototyping and collecting additional dialogue data. In the case of Companions we want to observe what it wou...
متن کاملConducting the Wizard-of-Oz Experiment
Human-human and human-computer dialogues differ in such an important way that the data from human interaction becomes an unreliable source of information for some important aspects of designing natural-language dialogue systems. Therefore, we began the process of developing a natural-language, weather-information-providing dialogue system by conducting the Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) experiment. In WOZ ...
