Manual annotation, however, is an expensive and time consuming process since it involves human annotators looking at the data and explicitly adding information that is implicitly contained in the data, based on their judgment. This work presents an approach to automatically annotating referring expressions in situated dialogues by exploiting the interpretation of language by the participants in the dialogue. We associate instructions concerning objects in the environment with automatically detected events involving these objects and predict the referents of referring expressions in the instructions on the basis of the objects affected by the events. We judge the reliability of these predictions based on the temporal and textual distance between instruction and event. We apply our approach to an annotated corpus and evaluate the results against human annotation. The evaluation shows that the approach can be used to accurately annotate a large proportion of the utterances in the corpus dialogues and highlight those utterances for which human annotation is required, thus reducing the amount of human annotation required.","PeriodicalId":357024,"journal":{"name":"Int.
