Abstract: Data-driven techniques have influenced many aspects of speech and language processing tasks. Models derived from data are generally more robust than hand-crafted systems since they better reflect the distribution of the phenomena being modeled. Dialog management is at the threshold of reaping the beneflt of data-driven techniques with the availability of large human-human dialog corpora. In this paper, we present our view of structuring human-human dialogs in order to learn models for human-machine dialogs. We present the problem of dialog segmentation and dialog act labeling, develop a model for predicting and labeling segments and dialog acts and evaluate the models on customer-agent dialogs from a catalog service domain.
