We describe a novel domain, Fruit Carts, aimed at eliciting human language production for the twin purposes of (a) dialogue system research and development and (b) psycholinguistic research. Fruit Carts contains five tasks: choosing a cart, placing it on a map, painting the cart, rotating the cart, and filling the cart with fruit. Fruit Carts has been used for research in psycholinguistics and in dialogue systems. Based on these experiences, we discuss how well the Fruit Carts domain meets four desired features: unscripted, context-constrained, controllable difficulty, and separability into semi-independent subdialogues. We describe the domain in sufficient detail to allow others to replicate it; researchers interested in using the corpora themselves are encouraged to contact the authors directly.

水果车：对话系统和心理语言学研究领域和语料库

我们描述了一个新的领域，水果车，旨在为了（a）对话系统研究和开发和（b）心理语言学研究的双重目的引发人类语言生产。Fruit Carts 包含五个任务：选择购物车、将其放置在地图上、绘制购物车、旋转购物车以及将水果装满购物车。Fruit Carts 已被用于心理语言学和对话系统的研究。基于这些经验，我们讨论了 Fruit Carts 领域如何满足四个所需的特征：无脚本、上下文约束、可控难度以及可分离成半独立的子对话。我们对域进行了足够详细的描述，以允许其他人复制它；鼓励对自己使用语料库感兴趣的研究人员直接与作者联系。
