A recipe for annotating grounded clarifications

In Clarifications are crucial to robust dialogues, and Sections 4 and A we test the practical implications pragmatic factors -- notably those shaped by the of our recipe by identifying and characterizing (according world modalities situating the conversation -- have to their modalities) the clarifications in a a key role to play. Referring expressions have in corpus of long dialogues in English. In Section 5 vision a modality in which to ground clarifications we turn to the claim that clarifications are rare in concerning objects in the world (de Vries et al., dialogue datasets (Ginzburg, 2012), and that current 2017); navigation instructions have in movement data-hungry algorithms cannot learn them. We a modality in which to ground clarifications concerning argue that whether they are rare or not depends collaborative wayfinding (Thomason et al., on pragmatic factors of the conversation and the 2019). Clarifications grounded in situationally relevant modality of the grounded clarification, and discuss modalities boost the redundancy required to the impact of six such factors. After presenting learn to use language without explicit supervision, potential objections and our responses in Section 6, as they make explicit the process of negotiating the we conclude in Section 7 by noting ethical issues communicative intent. But despite its importance, raised by socioperceptive dialogue systems that work on clarification remains scattered.
