Zusammenfassung

The standard evaluation metrics for dialog act classifiers are based on the boolean outcome of the exact classification. For multidimensional tag sets, such as the ICSI-MRDA tag set, this is stricter than necessary, since the miss- classification might be partial and this can be good enough for the application in which the classifier is embedded. We propose a new forgiving metric and show some preliminary results. Some future work is sketched.
