Len Schubert - Robust, Incremental Parsing and Disambiguation (1145 words)
The goal of this project is to develop general techniques for robust parsing and disambiguation of task-oriented spoken dialogs.
A primary challenge in such dialogs lies in the disruption of ordinary grammatical structure by repairs, interjected acknowledgements and corrections, etc. In human-machine dialogs, the problem is compounded by the speech recognition errors introduced by the speech recognizer.
To further the goal of integrating syntactic analysis and discourse analysis, we are also participating in a major effort to develop a general dialog annotation scheme that will capture the pragmatically most important properties and relationships of dialog segments, and to produce annotated dialog corpora based on this scheme.
