Abstract

In this paper, we present an extension of the DCR method, which is a framework for the deep evaluation of Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) Systems. The key point of our contribution is the use of a linguistic typology in order to generate an evaluation corpus that covers a significant number of the linguistic phenomena we want to evaluate our system on. This allows to have more objective and deep evaluation of SLU systems.
