Papers
Here you will find links to the papers that we will discuss in class. These will typically be recent research papers. The slides contain many references to more classic papers in the field. Most of them are freely available online. But if there is something you cannot find, ask Raquel.
For general overviews of dialogue research, have a look at the following chapters in the Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics, 2nd ed. (freely available when connected to the UvA network):
- Dialogue
- Spoken Language Dialogue Systems
This survey article gives pointers to dialogue corpora:
- Serban et al. (2017). A Survey of Available Dialogue Corpora for Building Data-Driven Dialogue Systems.
