Discourse processing of dialogues with multiple threads
arXiv preprint cmp-lg/9504025, 1995•arxiv.org
In this paper we will present our ongoing work on a plan-based discourse processor
developed in the context of the Enthusiast Spanish to English translation system as part of
the JANUS multi-lingual speech-to-speech translation system. We will demonstrate that
theories of discourse which postulate a strict tree structure of discourse on either the
intentional or attentional level are not totally adequate for handling spontaneous dialogues.
We will present our extension to this approach along with its implementation in our plan …

In this paper we will present our ongoing work on a plan-based discourse processor developed in the context of the Enthusiast Spanish to English translation system as part of the JANUS multi-lingual speech-to-speech translation system. We will demonstrate that theories of discourse which postulate a strict tree structure of discourse on either the intentional or attentional level are not totally adequate for handling spontaneous dialogues. We will present our extension to this approach along with its implementation in our plan-based discourse processor. We will demonstrate that the implementation of our approach outperforms an implementation based on the strict tree structure approach.
