Controlling Chat Bot Multi-Document Navigation with the Extended Discourse Trees

Dmitry Ilvovsky, Alexander Kirillovich, Boris Galitsky


Abstract
In this paper we learn how to manage a dialogue relying on discourse of its utterances. We define extended discourse trees, introduce means to manipulate with them, and outline scenarios of multi-document navigation to extend the abilities of the interactive information retrieval-based chat bot. We also provide evaluation results of the comparison between conventional search and chat bot enriched with the multi-document navigation.
