Representing Clarification Dialogues in a Speaker/ Hearer Model
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper shows an extended Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) model which represents clarification dialogue and clarification dialogue acts and relates them to agents’ intentions. Agents’ intentions are linked to the dialogue acts associated with their utterances. The effect dialogue acts have on the speaker and the hearer is translated into an extended computational DRT model and linked to agents’ beliefs. These extensions to DRT allow the demonstration of problematic dialogues that require clarification, a topic neglected in DRT.

A Computational Model of Collaboration on Reference in Direction-Giving Dialogues
In a conversation, a speaker sometimes has to refer to an object that is not previously known to the hearer. This type of reference occurs frequently in dialogues where the speaker is giving directions to a particular place. To make a reference, the speaker attempts to build a description of the object that will allow the hearer to identify it when she later reaches it. This thesis presents a c...
متن کاملIncrementality, Speaker-Hearer Switching and the Disambiguation Challenge
Taking so-called split utterances as our point of departure, we argue that a new perspective on the major challenge of disambiguation becomes available, given a framework in which both parsing and generation incrementally involve the same mechanisms for constructing trees reflecting interpretation (Dynamic Syntax: (Cann et al., 2005; Kempson et al., 2001)). With all dependencies, syntactic, sem...
متن کاملBelief Modelling for Discourse Plans
The process of communication between agents is originated by the need of exchanging concepts. In natural language dialogues, the speaker tries to express his/her internal concepts into words and phrases; the hearer’s task consists of understanding the message, i.e. translating back from natural language into his/her internal representation (‘language of thought’) [1]. This description underline...
متن کاملRedundancy in Collaborative Dialogue Appeared in Coling92
In dialogues in which both agents are autonomous, each agent deliberates whether to accept or reject the contributions of the current speaker. A speaker cannot simply assume that a proposal or an assertion will be accepted. However, an examination of a corpus of naturally-occurring problem-solving dialogues shows that agents often do not explicitly indicate acceptance or rejection. Rather the s...
