Dialogue Act Annotation with the ISO 24617-2 Standard

Abstract

This chapter describes recent and ongoing annotation efforts using the ISO 24617-2 standard for dialogue act annotation. Experimental studies are reported on the annotation by human annotators and by annotation machines of some of the specific features of the ISO annotation scheme, such as its multidimensional annotation of communicative functions, the recognition of each of its nine dimensions, and the recognition of dialogue act qualifiers for certainty, conditionality, and sentiment. The construction of corpora of dialogues, annotated according to ISO24617-2, is discussed, including the recent DBOX and DialogBank corpora.
