Characteristics of Common Experimental Dialogue Tasks: a Systematic Review & Taxonomy

EasyChair Preprint no. 10617

Abstract

Natural dialogue has a flexible and open-ended  character that makes controlled experiments difficult. One strategy for dealing with this is to use a dialogue task that reduces this complexity by limiting the content, format or structure of a dialogue. This paper introduces a systematic review of these tasks, organises their basic features into a taxonomy and introduces quantitative comparisons between these task dialogues to guide task choice and identify gaps in coverage.

Keyphrases: conversation, Dialogue tasks, domain-independent, natural dialogue, Quasi-dialogue
