Non-sentential utterances (., shortanswers as in “Who came to the party?”— “Peter.”) are pervasive in dialogue. As with other forms of ellipsis, the elided material is typically present in the context (., the question that a short answer answers). We present a machine learning approach to the novel task of identifying fragments and their antecedents in multiparty dialogue. We compare the performance of several learning algorithms, using a mixture of structural and lexical features, and show that the task of identifying antecedents given a fragment can be learnt successfully (f () = .76); we discuss why the task of. | Towards Finding and Fixing Fragments Using ML to Identify Non-Sentential Utterances and their Antecedents in Multi-Party Dialogue David Schlangen Department of Linguistics University of Potsdam .

A Who came to the party B Peter. Peter came to the party. b. A I talked to Peter. B Peter Miller Was it Peter Miller you talked to c. A Who was this Peter Miller Was this Peter Miller Such utterances pose an obvious problem for natural language processing applications namely that the intended information in 1-a -B a proposition has to be recovered from the uttered information here an NP meaning with the help of information from the context. While some systems that automatically resolve such fragments have recently been developed Schlangen and Lascarides 2002 Fernandez et al. 2004a they have the drawback that they require deep linguistic processing full parses and also information about discourse structure and hence are not very robust. We have defined a well-defined subtask
