title = "A recipe for annotating grounded clarifications",
abstract = "In order to interpret the communicative intents of an utterance, it needs to be grounded in something that is outside of language; that is, grounded in world modalities. In this paper we argue that dialogue clarification mechanisms make explicit the process of interpreting the communicative intents of the speaker{\textquoteright}s utterances by grounding them in the various modalities in which the dialogue is situated. This paper frames dialogue clarification mechanisms as an understudied research problem and a key missing piece in the giant jigsaw puzzle of natural language understanding. We discuss both the theoretical background and practical challenges posed by this problem, and propose a recipe for obtaining grounding annotations. We conclude by highlighting ethical issues that need to be addressed in future work.",
