Dialogue Structure Annotation Guidelines for Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Human-Robot Dialogue Corpus

Abstract

Here we provide detailed guidelines on how to annotate a multifloor human-robot dialogue for structure elements relevant to informing dialogue management in robotic systems. We start with transcribed and time-aligned dialogue data collected from participants and Wizards of Oz across multiple years of an Army Research Laboratory human-robot interaction experiment (the Bot Language project). We define structure elements and annotation protocol for marking up these dialogue data, with the aim to inform development of a dialogue management system onboard a robot.
