چکیده
We describe a generic set of tools for representing, annotating, and analysing multi-party discourse, including: an ontology of multimodal discourse, a programming interface for that ontology, and NOMOS – a flexible and extensible toolkit for browsing and annotating discourse.

We then present a set of hierarchical topic segmentations and action item subdialogues collected over 56 meetings from the ICSI and ISL meeting corpora using our tools. These annotations are designed to support research towards automatic meeting under-

Markov Decision Processes with Continuous Observations for Dialogue Management
This work shows how a spoken dialogue system can be represented as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) with composite observations consisting of discrete elements representing dialogue acts and continuous components representing confidence scores. Using a testbed simulated dialogue management problem and recently developed optimisation techniques, we demonstrate that this con...

Tutoring applications differ in many ways, however, from the types of applications for which spoken dialogue systems are typically developed. This talk will illustrate some of the opportunities and challenges in this a...

The paper argues that everyday exchange of business emails produces a development in the work-group relationship, which, in turn, makes new communication styles possible and acceptable by the users' habit to computer-mediated forms, even in unbalanced professional exchanges. The focus is on the (spoken) discourse features of email messages in a self-compiled corpus of selected computer-mediated...
