Conversational implicatures in English dialogue: Annotated dataset

Understand

Human dialogue often contains utterances having meanings entirely different from the sentences used and are clearly understood by the interlocutors.

• But in human-computer interactions, the machine fails to understand the implicated meaning unless it is trained with a dataset containing the implicated meaning of an utterance along with the utterance and the context in which it is uttered.
• In linguistic terms, conversational implicatures are the meanings of the speaker's utterance that are not part of what is explicitly said.
• In this paper, we introduce a dataset of dialogue snippets with three constituents, which are the context, the utterance, and the implicated meanings.
