Through a survey of typical working spoken (or natural language) dialogue systems in the nineties (Xu, 2001) , we find their central control-ling component -dialogue management -is relatively less well-established than other components. In most working SDSs, the design of dialogue management is usually guided by some principles (den Os et al., 1999) , strategies (Souvignier et al., 2000) , or objectives (Lamel et al., 2000) . In some even these guidelines are implicit. The problem is more outstanding in those SDSs developed by the speech recognition community, in which most working SDSs come into being. Among many causes, we think, the most important is that dialogue management is short of solid theoretical support from dialogue models (the distinction between dialogue management and dialogue model will be explicated in section 2), in addition to the design of SDSs being a real world problem.",

Discourse phenomena contain much discourse-level context information. It is those that contribute partly to the naturalness and coherence in human-human dialogues. But it's very difficult for computers to make full use of them, either in interpretation or in generation. They are implemented in few of present SDSs, though much effort has been put on the study of computational models of discourse phenomena (see (Webber, 2001) for an overview and references therein for further details).",

Using both for segmentation if topic is new UT-1 \u00be interrogatives then UT-3 = initiative else UT-3 = non-initiative Given the semantic tag sequence of an utterance, we determine its topic 11 and UT-1 (what we are most interested in is interrogatives (ynq, whq, atq, and djq)). Since the parser performs with an error rate of \u00be \u00b1, there will be some wrong semantic tags, which lead to errors in assigning UT-1 and topic. Then we use the three simple algorithms to segment groups in the 20 dialogues. Their performance (also using the expert's segmentation as reference) is given in Table 3 . Table 3 shows the results of group segmentation, both manual and automated. Though none of the three algorithms outperforms the subject, they all show that topic change and UT-1 as interrogative are acceptable and also good indicators of utterance group beginning, esp. when topic and UT-1 are the only information sources and when discourse markers (Schiffrin, 1987) in spontaneous speech are unavailable in current deep analysis. There is no obvious performance difference in segmenting dialogue into groups with the three algorithms. The performance of algorithm I may be improved if the noises brought by the parser and our simple topic identification algorithm are cleared. This implies that topic change is a potentially better indicator of the beginning of new groups. The result using UT-1 only is the worst. This is partly because not all groups begin with interrogatives and that interrogatives do not always occur at the beginning of a group. When using both topic and UT-1, the performance changes little, though seemly more constraints are used. This possibly is because topic change and UT-1 as interrogative overlap a lot.",
