| Abstract | This paper introduces a novel corpus of natural language dialogues obtainedfrom humans performing a cooperative, remote, search task (CReST) as it occursnaturally in a variety of scenarios (e.g., search and rescue missions indisaster areas). This corpus is unique in that it involves remotecollaborations between two interlocutors who each have to perform tasks thatrequire the other's assistance. In addition, one interlocutor's tasks requirephysical movement through an indoor environment as well as interactions withphysical objects within the environment. The multi-modal corpus contains thespeech signals as well as transcriptions of the dialogues, which areadditionally annotated for dialog structure, disfluencies, and for constituentand dependency syntax. On the dialogue level, the corpus was annotated forseparate dialogue moves, based on the classification developed by Carletta etal. (1997) for coding task-oriented dialogues. Disfluencies were annotatedusing the scheme developed by Lickley (1998). The syntactic annotationcomprises POS annotation, Penn Treebank style constituent annotations as wellas dependency annotations based on the dependencies of pennconverter. |
