Domain-specific dialogue systems generally determine user intents by relying\non sentence level classifiers that mainly focus on single action sentences.\nSuch classifiers are not designed to effectively handle complex queries\ncomposed of conditional and sequential clauses that represent multiple actions.\nWe attempt to decompose such queries into smaller single action subqueries that\nare reasonable for intent classifiers to understand in a dialogue pipeline. We\nrelease, CANDLE(Conditional & AND type Expressions), a dataset consisting of\n4282 utterances manually tagged with conditional and sequential labels, and\ndemonstrates this decomposition by training two baseline taggers.\n
