Interoperability of Dialogue Corpora through ISO 24617-2-based Querying
Volha Petukhova, Andrei Malchanau, Harry Bunt · 2014
The paper presents an approach to achieving interoperability of dialogue act annotations through developing a query format for accessing existing annotated corpora.The interpretation of expressions in the query format implements a mapping from ISO 24617-2 concepts to those of several existing annotation schemes.This approach is tested on two important types of existing dialogue corpora: spoken two-person dialogue corpora collected and annotated within the HCRC Map Task paradigm, and multiparty face-to-face dialogues of the AMI corpus.Additionally, we provide a mapping between ISO 24617-2 concepts and DAMSL-based taxonomies.We present the results and evaluate them with respect to accuracy and completeness trough statistical comparisons between retrieved and manually constructed reference annotations.
