David Traum, Cassidy Henry, Stephanie Lukin, Ron Artstein, Felix Gervits, Kimberly Pollard, Claire Bonial, Su Lei, Clare Voss, Matthew Marge, Cory Hayes, Susan Hill
| Challenge: | Existing annotation schemes do not address dialogue structure. |
| Approach: | They propose an annotation scheme for meso-level dialogue structure that clusters utterances from multiple participants and floors into units according to realization of an initiator's intent. |
| Outcome: | The proposed annotation scheme is used to annotate a corpus of human-robot interaction dialogues. |
Towards a Conversation-Analytic Taxonomy of Speech Overlap (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a taxonomy for classifying speech overlap in natural language dialogue is presented . the scheme classifies overlap on the basis of several features, including onset point, local dialogue history, and management behavior. |
| Approach: | They propose a taxonomy for classifying speech overlap in natural language dialogue . they describe the various dimensions of the scheme and show how it was applied to a corpus of collaborative dialogue based on onset point, dialogue history, and management behavior . |
| Outcome: | The proposed taxonomy classifies overlap on the basis of onset point, dialogue history, management behavior. |

Ziqiao Ma, Benjamin VanDerPloeg, Cristian-Paul Bara, Yidong Huang, Eui-In Kim, Felix Gervits, Matthew Marge, Joyce Chai
| Challenge: | Empowering autonomous driving agents with the ability to navigate in a continuous and dynamic environment is critical. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel interactive simulation platform that enables the creation of unexpected situations on the fly to support empirical studies on situated communication with autonomous driving agents. |
| Outcome: | The proposed platform enables the creation of unexpected situations on the fly to support empirical studies on situated communication with autonomous driving agents. |
