Abstract
This chapter investigates the process of porting the stochastically-based semantic analyzer initially developed for the American ATIS task to the French MASK application (Minker, 1998) in which users make train travel information inquiries.

Notes
While the semantic interpretation of the isolated query is unambiguous in order to respond correctly, the dialog context is needed.
meaning that the definitive interpretation depends on the dialog state
For this study a subset of about 10,000 MASK utterances was used. The current data collection status reports more than 52,000 utterances with 652 station names.
The utterances were annotated independently from the dialog context.

which is similar to ATIS and MASK, where an incorrect semantic representation may still produce a correct database response.
