Abstract
Elliptical and anaphoric utterances occur frequently during spoken dialogue. Because discourse analysis rests on the basic premise that linguistic items cannot be understood without reference to the context, ellipsis and anaphora resolution plays an important role in discourse analysis. In this paper, we present a spoken dialogue system improving the robustness at dialogue level based on discourse analysis, such as anaphora and ellipsis resolution. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated in the TV domain.
