Abstract
This paper presents a novel task using real user data obtained in human-machine conversation. The task concerns with denotation extraction from answer hints collected interactively in a dialogue.
The task is motivated by the need for large amounts of training data for question answering dialogue system development, where the data is often expensive and hard to collect. Being able to collect denotation interactively and directly from users, one could improve, for example, natural understanding components online and ease the collection of the training data.
This paper also presents introductory results of evaluation of several denotation extraction models including attention-based neural network approaches.
