Discourse and Application Modeling for Dialogue Systems

Spoken -- and even written -- language dialogue systems become of increasing importance for various information gathering and device controlling tasks. With an example taken form the EMBASSI joint project, after a brief discussion of the linguistic processing part, we describe how description logics are used in modeling the application domain as well as the linguistic domain. Linking lexical semantics with application specic concepts is a nontrivial problem, in particular in cases where there is no direct correspondence. So, the paper ends presenting our approach to solve this linking problem.
