Annotation of Discourse Relations for Conversational Spoken Dialogs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we make a qualitative and quantitative analysis of discourse relations within the LUNA conversational spoken dialog corpus. In particular, we describe the adaptation of the Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB) annotation scheme to the LUNA dialogs. We discuss similarities and differences between our approach and the PDTB paradigm and point out the peculiarities of spontaneous dialogs w.r.t. written text, which motivated some changes in the sense hierarchy. Then, we present corpus statistics about the discourse relations within a representative set of annotated dialogs.

This work proposes opinion frames as a representation of discourse-level associations that arise from related opinion targets and which are common in task-oriented meeting dialogs. We define the opinion frames and explain their interpretation. Additionally we present an annotation scheme that realizes the opinion frames and via human annotation studies, we show that these can be reliably identi...
