Abstract:

In this paper we present the task-oriented context representation and the dialogue manager for the VERBMOBIL translation system. We show how to utilize statistical methods, shallow extraction and propositional representation to provide translation relevant information and most of all, to enable the system to automatically create a dialogue script and result summary.
