Reconstructed Intentions in Collaborative Problem Solving Dialogues

We provide evidence that speech act recognition, is 1) diicult for humans to do and 2) likely to misidentify proposals involving reconstructed intentions. We examine the reliability of coding for speech acts in collaborative dialogues and we present an approach for recognizing reconstructed proposals using domain context and other more easily recognized features.
