Task: Question Answering
Input (English): There have been many taxonomies for dialogue acts: speech acts BIBREF14 refer to the utterance, not only to present information but to the action at is performed. Speech acts were later modified into five classes (Assertive, Directive, Commissive, Expressive, Declarative) BIBREF15. There are many such standard taxonomies and schemes to annotate conversational data, and most of them follow the discourse compositionality. These schemes have proven their importance for discourse or conversational analysis BIBREF16. During the increased development of dialogue systems and discourse analysis, the standard taxonomy was introduced in recent decades, called Dialogue Act Markup in Several Layers (DAMSL) tag set. According to DAMSL, each DA has a forward-looking function (such as Statement, Info-request, Thanking) and a backwards-looking function (such as Accept, Reject, Answer) BIBREF17. 
 Question: How were dialogue act labels defined?
Output (English): Dialogue Act Markup in Several Layers (DAMSL) tag set
