Revisiting the Boundary between ASR and NLU in the Age of Conversational Dialog Systems
As more users across the world are interacting with dialog agents in their daily life, there is a need for better speech understanding that calls for renewed attention to the dynamics between research in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and natural language understanding (NLU). We briefly review these research areas and lay out the current relationship between them. In light of the observations we make in this paper, we argue that (1) NLU should be cognizant of the presence of ASR models being used upstream in a dialog system's pipeline, (2) ASR should be able to learn from errors found in NLU, (3) there is a need for end-to-end datasets that provide semantic annotations on spoken input, (4) there should be stronger collaboration between ASR and NLU research communities.

When F1 Fails: Granularity-Aware Evaluation for Dialogue Topic Segmentation
Dialogue topic segmentation supports summarization, retrieval, memory management, and conversational continuity. Despite decades of work, evaluation practice remains dominated by strict boundary matching and F1-based met…
Revisiting the Phenomenon of Syntactic Complexity Convergence on German Dialogue Data
We revisit the phenomenon of syntactic complexity convergence in conversational interaction, originally found for English dialogue, which has theoretical implication for dialogical concepts such as mutual understanding. …
