| Abstract | This paper introduces a new corpus of consulting dialogues designed fortraining a dialogue manager that can handle consulting dialogues throughspontaneous interactions from the tagged dialogue corpus. We have collectedmore than 150 hours of consulting dialogues in the tourist guidance domain.We are developing the corpus that consists of speech, transcripts, speech act(SA) tags, morphological analysis results, dependency analysis results, andsemantic content tags. This paper outlines our taxonomy of dialogue act (DA)annotation that can describe two aspects of an utterance: the communicativefunction (SA), and the semantic content of the utterance. We provide anoverview of the Kyoto tour dialogue corpus and a preliminary analysis using theDA tags. We also show a result of a preliminary experiment for SA tagging viaSupport Vector Machines (SVMs). We introduce the current states of the corpusdevelopment In addition, we mention the usage of our corpus for the spokendialogue system that is being developed. |
