Toward Dialogue Modeling: A Semantic Annotation Scheme for Questions and Answers
This work addresses the problem of dialogue modeling for researchers in computational linguistics, but it is incremental as it builds on existing annotation efforts.
The study proposed a semantic annotation scheme for classifying question-answer pairs in dialogues and applied it to English, Spanish, and Dutch, reporting initial machine learning experiments for automatic annotation.
The present study proposes an annotation scheme for classifying the content and discourse contribution of question-answer pairs. We propose detailed guidelines for using the scheme and apply them to dialogues in English, Spanish, and Dutch. Finally, we report on initial machine learning experiments for automatic annotation.
