Semantic Representation of Non-Sentential Utterances in Dialog
نویسنده
چکیده
Being confronted with spontaneous speech, our current annotation scheme requires alterations that would reflect the abundant use of non-sentential fragments with clausal meaning tightly connected to their context, which do not systematically occur in written texts. The purpose of this paper is to list the common patterns of non-sentential fragments and their contexts and to find a smooth resolution of their semantic annotation.

The interpretation of non-sentential utterances in dialogue
We present an overview of a comprehensive formal theory of the interpretation of sentential fragments, which has as components an empirically validated taxonomy, an analysis of the syntax and compositional semantics of fragments, and a formalisation of their contextual interpretation. We also briefly describe an implementation of this theory, and quantify the potential practical use of handling...
متن کاملSemantic Hierarchies in Dialogue Systems
This paper deals with the semantic representation of user utterances within development of computerized dialogue system intended for city information center. The formalisms for description of natural language are mentioned and verified on user utterances and first dialogue turns within selected domain areas. A parser analyzing the utterance segments according to given rules is presented. Then t...
متن کاملNon-Sentential Utterances in Dialogue: Experiments in Classification and Interpretation
Non-sentential utterances (NSUs) are utterances that lack a complete sentential form but whose meaning can be inferred from the dialogue context, such as “OK”, “where?”, “probably at his apartment”. The interpretation of non-sentential utterances is an important problem in computational linguistics since they constitute a frequent phenomena in dialogue and they are intrinsically context-depende...
متن کاملSemantic analysis in a robust spoken dialog system
In this paper we describe the semantic interpretation process of utterances in a spoken dialog system for train table inquiries. Spoken dialogs show a large set of problems in human–machine–communication like stops, corrections, filled pauses, non grammatical sentences, ellipses, unconnected phrases etc. In our robust approach we are able to handle a substantial amount of them. While the princi...
متن کاملResolving Fragments Using Discourse Information
This paper describes an extension of RUDI, a dialogue system component for ‘Resolving Underspecification with Discourse Information’ (Schlangen et al., 2001). The extension handles the resolution of the intended meaning of non-sentential utterances that denote propositions or questions. Some researchers have observed that there are complex syntactic, semantic and pragmatic constraints on the ac...
