Repairing Miscommunication: Relaxation in Reference

چکیده

In natural language interactions listener a speaker and cannot be assured to have beliefs, the same contexts, back rounds or goals. ' leads to difficulties an Lf mistakes when a list%: tries to interpret a speaker's utterance. One principal source of trouble is the description constructed by the speaker to refer to an actual object in the world. imprecise, confused, The description can be ambiguous or overly specific; it might be interpreted under the wrong context. This paper explores the problem of resolving such reference failures in the context of the task of assembling a toy water pump. We are using actual protocols to drive the design of a program that e lays he the part of an apprentice who must interpret A instructions of an expert and carry them out. descriptions is by primary means for the apprentice to repadif such description. relaxing parts the

The workshop was organized into four sessions: (1) “Empirical Data Regarding the Occurrence of Miscommunication,” (2) “Strategies for Identifying Potential Causes of Breakdowns,” (3) “Knowledge Representation and Reasoning about Miscommunication,” and (4) “Repair in Spoken Language Systems.” These sessions represen...

On the use of expectations for detecting and repairing human-machine miscommunication

In this paper I describe how miscommunication problems are dealt with in the spoken language system DIALOGOS. The dialogue module of the system exploits dialogic expectations in a twofold way: to model what future user utterance might be about (predictions), and to account how the user’s next utterance may be related to previous ones in the ongoing interaction (pragmaticbased expectations). The...

Pragmatic Issues in Handling Miscommunication: Observations of a Spoken Natural Language Dialog System

As with human-human interaction, human-computer dialog will contain situations where there is miscom-munication. This paper describes phenomena observed in the handling of miscommunication by an experimental spoken natural language dialog system capable of variable initiative behavior, the Circuit Fix-It Shop. In general, the 141 dialogs obtained from human interaction with this system indicate...

Beyond Loose LP-Relaxations: Optimizing MRFs by Repairing Cycles

This paper presents a new MRF optimization algorithm, which is derived from Linear Programming and manages to go beyond current state-of-the-art techniques (such as those based on graph-cuts or belief propagation). It does so by relying on a much tighter class of LP-relaxations, called cycle-relaxations. With the help of this class of relaxations, our algorithm tries to deal with a difficulty l...
