## Papers

1. **[MIDAS: A Dialog Act Annotation Scheme for Open Domain Human-Machine Spoken Conversations](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/yu-2021-midas-dialog-act-annotation-scheme/)** *(2021)* MIDAS is a dialogue act scheme for people talking to a social chatbot, built because a SWBD-DAMSL tagger reached only 47% on such talk (commands are 9% of user turns there, 0.4% in Switchboard).
2. **[Dependency Parsing for Spoken Dialog Systems](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/ud-2019-davidson-dependency-parsing-spoken-dialog-systems/)** *(2019)* The authors annotate 1,500 automatic-speech-recognition transcripts of users talking to an open-domain chatbot, using SCUD, an extension of UD 2.0 for spoken human-machine dialogue.
