| Research Abstract |
This research was intended to develop a theory of discourse understanding, especially how the information is flowed in dialogue, and to build a computational model of dialogue between computer and human. Adopting SDRT(Segmented Discourse Representation Theory) as its theoretical framework, we took the theoretical research perspective from linguistics and the application perspective from computational linguistics. As the main target was Japanese discourse, we had to extend the discourse relations to include various aspects of Japanese discourse structure, and found that it is effective to analyze and explain the relationship among the information described in the discourse, especially short one such as tweets.
