Abstract
We briefly review our dialogue model and present a first approach to automatic analysis of interactive information retrieval dialogues based on this model. We discuss the assumptions that we have to place on the model, present an algorithm that given a certain action from either participant calculates the set of relevant partial structures that could represent this action, and discuss some criteria for selecting one of these structures.
This research was carried out as part of the European Union funded Copernicus Programme Project No. 10393 ‘speak!’.
