These two modes depend on the fact that VERBMOBIL is only translating on demand, i.e. when the user's knowledge of English is not sufficient to participate in a dialogue. If the user of VERBMOBIL needs translation, she presses a button thereby activating deep processing. In depth processing of an utterance takes place in maximally 50% of the dialogue contributions, namely when the owner speaks German only.

In this paper main emphasis is on statistical dialogue act prediction in VEFtBMOBIL, with an evaluation of the method, and an example of the interaction between plan recognition and statistical dialogue act prediction. Like previous approaches for modeling task-oriented dialogues we assume that a dialogue can be described by means of a limited but open set of dialogue acts (see e.g. (Bilange, 1991) , (Mast et al., 1992) ). We selected the dialogue acts by examining the VERBMOBIL corpus, which consists of transliterated spoken dialogues (German and English) for appointment scheduling. We examined this corpus for the occurrence of dialogue acts as proposed by e.g. (Austin, 1962; Searle, 1969) and for the necessity to introduce new, sometimes problem-oriented dialogue acts. We first defined 17 dialogue acts together with semi-formal rules for their assignment to utterances (Maier, 1994) . After one year of experience with these acts, the users of dialogue acts in VERBMOBIL selected them as the domain independent \"upper\" concepts within a more elaborate hierarchy that becomes more and more propositional and domain dependent towards its leaves (Jekat et al., 1995) . Such a hierarchy is useful e.g. for translation purposes. Following the assignment rules, which also served as starting point for the automatic determination of dialogue acts within the semantic evaluation component, we hand-annotated over 200 dialogues with dialogue act information to make this information available for training and test purposes. Figure 1 shows the domain independent dialogue acts and the transition networks which define admissible sequences of dialogue acts. In addition to the dialogue acts in the main dialogue network, there are five dialogue acts, which we call deviations, that can occur at any point of the dialogue. They are represented in an additional subnetwork which is shown at the bottom of figure 1. The networks serve as the basis for the implementation of a parser which determines whether an incoming dialogue act is compatible with the dialogue model.", |

| "text": "As mentioned in the introduction, it is not only important to extract the dialogue act of the current utterance, but also to predict possible follow up dialogue acts. Predictions about what comes next are needed internally in the dialogue component and externally by other components in VERB-MOBIL. An example of the internal use, namely the treatment of unexpected input by the plan recognizer, is described in section 4. Outside the dialogue component dialogue act predictions are used e.g. by the abovementioned semantic evaluation component and the keyword spotter. The semantic evaluation component needs predictions when it determines the dialogue act of a new utterance to narrow down the set of possibilities. The keyword spotter can only detect a small number of keywords that are selected for each dialogue act from the VERBMOBIL corpus of annotated dialogues using the Keyword Classification Tree algorithm (Kuhn, 1993; Mast, 1995) .", |

This number increases when the five dialogue acts from the subnetwork which can occur everywhere are considered as well. In that case the average number of predictions goes up to 10. Because the prediction of 10 dialogue acts from a total number of 17 is not sufficiently restrictive and because the dialogue network does not represent preference information for the various dialogue acts we need a different model which is able to make reliable dialogue act predictions. Therefore we developed a statistical method which is described in detail in the next section.", |

Good examples for the differences in the dialogue structure are the diMogue pairs #15/#16 and #41/#42. The hit rate for dialogue #15 is about 54% while for #16 it is about 86%.

Plan operators have been used to encode both the dialogue model and methods for recovery from erroneous dialogue states. Each plan operator represents a specific goal which it is able to fulfill in case specific constraints hold. These constraints mostly address the context, but they can also be used to check pragmatic features, like e.g. whether the dialogue participants know each other. Also, every plan operator can trigger followup actions, h typical action is, for example, the update of the dialogue memory. To be able to fulfill a goal a plan operator can define subgoals which have to be achieved in a pre-specified order (see e.g. (Maybury, 1991; Moore, 1994) for comparable approaches). (that looks bad) Figure 4 : Part of an example dialogue Since the VERBMOBIL system is not actively participating in the appointment scheduling task but only mediating between two dialogue participants it has to be assumed that every utterance, even if it is not consistent with the dialogue model, is a legal dialogue step. The first strategy for error recovery therefore is based on the hypothesis that the attribution of a dialogue act to a given utterance has been incorrect or rather that an utterance has various facets, i.e. multiple dialogue act interpretations. Currently, only the most plausible dialogue act is provided by the semantic evaluation component. To find out whether there might be an additional interpretation the plan recognizer relies on information provided by the statistics module. If an incompatible dialogue act is encountered, an alternative dialogue act is looked up in the statistical module which is most likely to come after the preceding dialogue act and which can be consistently followed by the current dialogue act, thereby gaining an admissible dialogue act sequence.", |

The latter case can be found in our example: INIT gets an additional reading of SUGeEST.", |

In figure 5, the plan recognizer issues a warning after processing the DELIBERATE dialogue act, because this act was inserted by means of a repair operator into the dialogue structure.", |

The analysis of the statistical method shows that the prediction algorithm shows satisfactory results when deviations from the main dialogue model are excluded. If dialogue acts for deviations are included, the prediction rate drops around 10%. The analysis of the hit rate shows also a large variation in the structure of the dialogues from the corpus. We currently integrate the speaker direction into the prediction process which results in a gain of up to 5 % in the prediction hit rate. Additionally, we investigate methods to cluster training dialogues in classes with a similar structure.", |

Additional dialogue act readings can be proposed and the dialogue history can be changed accordingly.", |

The difference between the two experiments is that in TS1 only dialogue acts of the main dialogue network are processed during the test, i.e. the deviation acts of the test dialogues are not processed. As can be seen --and as could be expected --the prediction rate drops heavily when unforseeable deviations occur. TS3 shows the prediction rates, when all currently available annotated dialogues (with 7197 dialogue acts) from the corpus are processed, including deviations.", |
