Abstract

This paper presents the results obtained during the application of automatically generated open-domain trivial dialogue phrase databases to conversational partners. The databases were generated by a language independent algorithm. Evaluative experiments were carried out for English and Spanish. Results show the applicability of the analyzed phrase databases.
