This is to announce a special sitting of the Dublin Computational
Linguistics Research Seminar.

On Thursday of next week (June 4, 2015), at 2:10pm, in the O'Reilly
Institute Large Conference Room, of TCD, Professor Harry Bunt (Tilburg
University) will speak on:

Semantic annotations and their meaning - the case of dialogue annotation

Annotated corpora are the fuel of machine learning techniques applied
to natural language processing. Corpus data with semantic annotations
in particular are essential for language understanding. In this talk I
will describe a methodology for the definition of semantic annotations
expressed in XML that have a well-defined semantics, allowing to
interpret them as discourse representation structures (DRSs) and
thereby making them directly useful for semantic processing. I will
describe the application of this methodology to the specification of
the annotation schema ISO 24617-2 for spoken and multimodal dialogue
act annotation.
