Title	Simulating Cub Reporter Dialogues: The collection of naturalistic human-human dialogues for information access to text archives
Authors	E. Barker, R. Higashinaka, F. Mairesse, R. Gaizauskas, M. Walker, J. Foster
Abstract	This paper describes a dialogue data collection experiment and resulting corpus for dialogues between a senior mobile journalist and a junior cub reporter back at the office. The purpose of the dialogue is for the mobile journalist to collect background information in preparation for an interview or on-the-site coverage of a breaking story. The cub reporter has access to text archives that contain such background information. A unique aspect of these dialogues is that they capture information-seeking behavior for an open-ended task against a large unstructured data source. Initial analyses of the corpus show that the experimental design leads to real-time, mixedinitiative, highly interactive dialogues with many interesting properties.
