This paper presents the main
characteristics of an Agent-based Architecture
for the design and implementation
of a Spoken Dialogue System. From
a theoretical point of view, the system is
based on the Information State Update
approach, in particular, the system…

This paper presents an algorithm for identifying noun phrase antecedents of third person personal
pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and omitted pronouns (zero pronouns)
