Abstract

This paper describes a probabilistic mechanism for the interpretation of utterance sequences in a task-oriented domain. The mechanism receives as input a sequence of sentences, and produces an interpretation which integrates the interpretations of individual sentences. For our evaluation, we collected a corpus of hypothetical requests to a robot, which comprise different numbers of sentences of different length and complexity. Our results are promising, but further improvements are required in our algorithm.
