Context-sensitive Utterance Planning for CCG
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents an approach to utterance planning, which can dynamically use context information about the environment in which a dialogue is situated. The approach is functional in nature, using systemic networks to specify its planning grammar. The planner takes a description of a communicative goal as input, and produces one or more logical forms that can express that goal in a contextually appropriate way. Both the goal and the resulting logical forms are expressed in a single formalism as ontologically rich, relational structures. To realize the logical forms, OpenCCG is used. The paper focuses primarily on the implementation, but also discusses how the planning grammar can be based on the grammar used in OpenCCG, and trained on (parseable) data.

The Importance of Rule Restrictions in CCG
Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) is generally construed as a fully lexicalized formalism, where all grammars use one and the same universal set of rules, and crosslinguistic variation is isolated in the lexicon. In this paper, we show that the weak generative capacity of this ‘pure’ form of CCG is strictly smaller than that of CCG with grammar-specific rules, and of other mildly context-sen...
متن کاملCCG-based Models for Statistical Machine Translation
The arguably best performing statistical machine translation systems are based on context-free formalisms or weakly equivalent ones. These models usually use a synchronous version of a context-free grammar (SCFG) which we argue is too rigid for the highly ambiguous task of human language translation. This is exacerbated by the fact that the imperfect methods available for aligning parallel text...

The paper discusses utterance planning in information-seeking dialogues and advocates a view of gradual speci cation of the communicative goal. In Constructive Dialogue Management, the set of beliefs that is intended to be communicated to the user is re ned with regard to communicative principles so that the utterance is relevant and appropriate in the context. Communicative principles describe...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Gender Differences Between Women’s and Men’s Informal Discussion in Iranian EFL Context
The language used by women and men differ in all speech communities. In order to examine some of these variations, the present study aimed to investigate the differences in an informal written discourse. For this purpose, a comparison between men’s and women’s informal language was made regarding length of utterances, questions, intensifiers, and hedges. Results revealed that men employed highe...
متن کاملExamination of the Locus of Positional Effects on Children's Production of Plural -s: Considerations From Local and Global Speech Planning.
PURPOSE Prosodic and articulatory factors influence children's production of inflectional morphemes. For example, plural -s is produced more reliably in utterance-final compared to utterance-medial position (i.e., the positional effect), which has been attributed to the increased planning time in utterance-final position. In previous investigations of plural -s, utterance-medial plurals were fo...
