However, it is extremely difficult for computers to understand pronouns in spoken conversations because during conversation, many characteristics of pronouns are disregarded.
English speakers verbalize extremely differently than they write.
Therefore, a computer cannot easily be programmed with grammar rules from a textbook to achieve the ultimate object of computers being able to understand pronoun usage in spoken English. The goals of this research are to develop a process to collect data called dialog annotation scheme, to collect data by performing annotations on dialogs, and to determine phenomena and common occurrences that appeared among the data. The dialogs used were human vs. human simulation. The point of the dialog was for a problem to be solved making the speakers interact in conversations. The major part of the annotation is figuring out the semantic and linguistic antecedents.
