Abstract

In this paper we present the main characteristics of the MAREDI system which is used to generate a conceptual representation of written transcription of task-oriented dialogs. We show how several techniques of the CG theory (concept type lattice, concept schematas, case relations, anaphoras) can be put to use in a practical system integrating other technologies (robust parsing, neural nets).
