Abstract

Producing detailed syntactic and semantic representations of natural language is essential for practical dialog systems such as plan-based assistants and tutorial systems. Development of such systems is time-consuming and costly as they are typically hand-crafted for each application, and dialog corpus data is more difficult to obtain than text. The TRIPS parser and grammar addresses these issues by providing broad coverage of common constructions in practical dialog and producing semantic representations suitable for dialog processing across domains. Our system bootstraps dialog system development in new domains and helps build parsed corpora.
