Example Dialogue Annotation Schemes

Abstract:
In the following section we will introduce the notion of dialogue acts and briefly look at some approaches of dialogue act annotation.

Introduction of Dialogue Acts
This shift from original speech acts is captured in naming acts used in dialogue modeling dialogue acts.

HCRC Map task
The HCRC map task annotated corpus consists of transcripts of spontaneous task-oriented dialogues between two human agents.

HCRC Map task: Levels of annotation
HCRC Map task: Levels of annotation.

Verbmobil 2
The Verbmobil corpus comprises transcripts of human-to-human, spontaneous, task-oriented dialogues.

Verbmobil 2: Levels of annotation
Hierarchical order and decision trees for choosing the right act.

TRAINS
The corpus consists of transcripts of simulated human-computer interactions.

TRAINS: The approach
The annotation makes use of Conversation Acts.

DAMSL
DAMSL (Dialogue Act Markup in Several Layers) is different from the previous annotation schemes.

DAMSL: The scheme
The main aim is to capture the multiple function utterances can have, as well as the interrelation of different speech acts.
