Abstract
We apply a PARADISE-style evaluation to a human-human dialogue corpus that was collected to support the design of a spoken dialogue system for library transactions. The book request dialogue task we investigate is informational in nature: a book request is considered successful if the librarian is able to identify a specific book for the patron. PARADISE assumes that user satisfaction can be modeled as a regression over task success and dialogue costs. The PARADISE model we derive includes features that characterize two types of qualitative features. The first has to do with the specificity of the communicative goals, given a request for an item. The second has to do with the number and location of overlapping turns, which can sometimes signal rapport between the speakers. 1
