Utterances as Update Instructions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to utterance representation which views utterances and their sub-constituents as instructions for contextual update: programs in a dynamic logic defined with respect to the dialogue gameboard of (Ginzburg, 1996; Fernández, 2003b). This approach allows utterance processing protocols to be represented within the grammar rather than postulated as separate dialogue processes: it also allows a view of incremental grounding and clarification which reflects the insights of dynamic semantics and allows us to treat salience and information structure in a coherent manner.

A Robotic Agent in a Virtual Environment that Performs Situated Incremental Understanding of Navigational Utterances
We demonstrate a robotic agent in a 3D virtual environment that understands human navigational instructions. Such an agent needs to select actions based on not only instructions but also situations. It is also expected to immediately react to the instructions. Our agent incrementally understands spoken instructions and immediately controls a mobile robot based on the incremental understanding r...
متن کاملDialogue Simulation and Context Dynamics for Dialogue Management
In this paper we describe DISCUS, a research tool for developing a context model and update algorithm for dialogue management. The model builds on Dynamic Interpretation Theory (DIT), in which dialogue is modelled in terms of dialogue acts operating on the information state of the dialogue participants. On the basis of dialogue act specifications of both system and user utterances, DISCUS perfo...
متن کاملClarifying Utterances
The paper argues for the importance of utterances (as opposed to \sen-tences in context") as basic units in dialogue. The main case study is clar-iication: a characterization is provided within KOS, a recently developed synthesis of situation semantics and dialogue games, of the clariications that can follow up on an utterance. This involves outlining: (a) a theory of understanding for dialogue...
متن کاملSources of inflexibility in 6-year-olds' understanding of emotion in speech.
When utterances contain conflicting emotion cues, 6-year-olds judge emotion from content, even when instructed to judge emotion from paralanguage (Morton & Trehub, 2001). Two experiments examined the nature of this bias. In Experiment 1, priming paralanguage reversed 6-year-olds' normal bias to content. In Experiment 2, 6-year-olds were instructed to listen to paralanguage under various conditi...
متن کاملGeneration of utterances based on visual context information
A major aspect of spontaneous dialogs is resembled by the collaborative process of communication where participants of a dialog cooperate by the production of utterances. Accordingly, not only independent utterances are produced but an utterance started by one agent may be continued by the other one based on the structural properties provided so far by the initial utterance. For establishing co...
