Dialogue Management: Questions to Session 6

• The term "replicability" brought me to the question if the dialogues are deterministic, if the questions of the user are the same, do the dialogue systems give the same answers? Or how do I have to modify the questions to get different answers?

• About DAMSL: Is there no need for annotation of hierarchical structures (e.g. intentional structure in Grosz & Sidner 86)? Don't we need hierarchical structure or is this information 'hidden' in the flat annotations?
