Trading in a multiplayer board game: Towards an analysis of non-cooperative dialogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
We collected and analysed a small dialogue corpus of people playing The Settlers of Catan. Dialogues are trading negotiations where Gricean maxims of cooperativity often break down as players adopt conflicting intentions in their attempt to win the game. This has consequences for what information players are sharing and for the sincerity of their contributions. In this paper, we motivate and describe a two-level scheme for analysing non-cooperative dialogues, where both levels are interdependent. Each dialogue move is a move in the game (e.g., an offer to trade), and a coherent contribution to the dialogue so far, connected to a prior segment with a coherence relation, such as indirect answerhood or rejection. Parsing and generating coherence relations is computationally feasible (e.g., Baldridge & Lascarides, 2005), and here we’ll argue that their semantics help to identify the game move, even when it is implicated rather than linguistically explicit.

MODELING RISK OF LOSING A CUSTOMER IN A TWO-ECHELON SUPPLY CHAIN FACING AN INTEGRATED COMPETITOR: A GAME THEORY APPROACH
In a competitive market, customer decision is made to maximize his utility. It can be assumed that risk of losing a supply chain’s customer can be defined based on products utility from customer point of view. This paper takes account of product price and service level as competition criteria. The proposed model is based on non-cooperative game theory, for one-manufacturer and one-retailer supp...

Non-cooperative dialogue behaviour has been identified as important in a variety of application areas, including education, military operations, video games and healthcare. However, it has not been addressed using statistical approaches to dialogue management, which have always been trained for co-operative dialogue. We develop and evaluate a statistical dialogue agent which learns to perform n...
