This list is doubtlessly incomplete. Please send updates to mcore@cs.rochester.edu

  • Dan Jurafsky, Becky Bates, Noak Coccaro, Rachel Martin, Marie Meteer, Klaus Ries, Elizabeth Shriberg, Andreas Stolcke, Paul Taylor, and Carol Van Ess-Dykema, `` Automatic Detection of Discourse Structure for Speech Recognition and Understanding'', IEEE Workshop on Speech Recognition and Understanding. Here are some slides detailing their project. And this is their annotation manual. I grabbed these documents from Dan Jurafsky's home page. Check there for the latest developments.

  • Barbara Di Eugenio, Pamela W. Jordan, Richmond H. Thomason, and Johanna D. Moore, ``Reconstructed Intentions in Collaborative Problem Solving Dialogues'', Presented at AAAI Fall Symposium on Communicative Action in Humans and Machines, Boston, MA, November 1997 available at the Coconut Project Publications page (their ACL 98 paper is available there too). This is their annotation manual. Another paper is, B. DiEugenio, J. D. Moore, and M. Paolucci, ``Learning Features that Predict Cue Usage'', in ACL 97.

  • Mark Core, `` Analyzing and Predicting Patterns of DAMSL Utterance Tags'', To be presented at AAAI Spring Symposium on Applying Machine Learning to Discourse Processing, Stanford, CA, March 1998.

  • Mark Core and James Allen, `` Coding Dialogs with the DAMSL Annotation Scheme'', Presented at AAAI Fall Symposium on Communicative Action in Humans and Machines, Boston, MA, November 1997. This addendum to the workshop paper uses a different inter-annotator reliability calculation. At this workshop, a coding exercise was performed as described here.
