TL;DR
MALTUS, a new tagset based on the ICSI-MR and Switchboard tagsets, which satisfies the requirements of multi-layered tagsets for dialogue acts and attempts to compare the merits of integrated versus multi-level classifiers for the detection of dialogue acts.
Abstract
In this paper we discuss the use of multi-layered tagsets for dialogue acts, in the context of dialogue understanding for multi-party meeting recording and retrieval applications. We discuss some desiderata for such tagsets and critically examine some previous proposals. We then define MALTUS, a new tagset based on the ICSI-MR and Switchboard tagsets, which satisfies these requirements. We present some experiments using MALTUS which attempt to compare the merits of integrated versus multi-level classifiers for the detection of dialogue acts.

This paper describes the reliability of a dialogue structure coding scheme based on utterance function, game structure, and higher-level transaction structure that has been applied to a corpus of spontaneous task-oriented spoken dialogues.

The ICSI Meeting Recorder Dialog Act (MRDA) Corpus

A new corpus of over 180,000 hand- annotated dialog act tags and accompanying adjacency pair annotations for roughly 72 hours of speech from 75 naturally-occurring meetings is described.
Optimization, maxent models, and conditional estimation without magic
150 Citations2003Christopher D. Manning, Dan Klein
This tutorial aims to cover the basic ideas and algorithms behind techniques such as maximum entropy modeling, conditional estimation of generative probabilistic models, and issues regarding the use of models more complex than simple Naive Bayes and Hidden Markov Models, using graphical illustrations rather than detailed derivations whenever possible.

This paper presents a discussion of issues that must be addressed in order to facilitate the shared understanding and use of taxonomies, framed in terms of 20 questions that will help make the meanings of taxonomy elements more clear to different communities of users.

67 Citations2004N. Morgan, Don Baron +12 more
Progress is reported on the collection and subsequent release of a 75-meeting corpus, the development of a prosodic database for a large subset of these meetings, and the improvement of both near-mic and far-mic speech recognition results for meeting speech test sets.
Relationship between dialogue acts and hot spots in meetings
54 Citations2004Britta Wrede, E. Shriberg
It is found that perplexities are similar for involved and non-involved utterances, and suggests that it may not be the amount of propositional content, but rather participants' attitudes toward that content, that differentiates hot spots from other regions in a meeting.
