Abstract

The paper analyses, how an information operator processes a customer's requests The study is based on the Estonian dialogue corpus Our further aim is to develop a dialogue system (DS) which interacts with a user in Estonian and recognises, interprets and grants a user's requests automatically There are two main classes of computational models of the interpretation of dialogue acts – cue-based and inferential-based In this paper, we try to combine these two approaches The corpus analysis demonstrates that a number of linguistic cues can be found which can be used by a DS for recognising requests in Estonian The DS will use linguistic cues in order to recognise a dialogue act type After that, a frame of the act will be activated and filled in in order to interpret (understand) the act and to generate a responding act A simple regular grammar is used for the dialogue management.
