Bootstrapping incremental dialogue systems from minimal data: the generalisation power of dialogue grammars (2017, unknown): “Records (DS-TTR) Dynamic Syntax (DS) is an action-based, word-by-word incremental and semantic grammar formalism (Kempson et al., 2001; Cann et al., 2005), especially suited to the highly fragmentary and context-dependent nature of dialogue.”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, background): “Directly in line with their perspective is Dynamic Syntax (DS), in which syntax is a set of mechanisms for online building of semantic representations used in both production and perception (Cann et al. 2005; 2007; Kempson et al. 2001; 2011).”
Generative Encoder-Decoder Models for Task-Oriented Spoken Dialog Systems with Chatting Capability (2017, methodology): “Prior work replaced the domain-speciﬁc dialog acts with domain-independent natural language semantic schema as the action space of dialog managers (Eshghi and Lemon, 2014), e.g. Dynamic Syntax (Kempson et al., 2000).”
