A Unified Probabilistic Approach to Referring Expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a probabilistic approach to the resolution of referring expressions for task-oriented dialogue systems. The approach resolves descriptions, anaphora, and deixis in a unified manner. In this approach, the notion of reference domains serves an important role to handle context-dependent attributes of entities and references to sets. The evaluation with the REX-J corpus shows promising results.

A UNIFIED MODEL FOR RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED PROJECT SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH UNCERTAIN ACTIVITY DURATIONS
In this paper we present a unified (probabilistic/possibilistic) model for resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with uncertain activity durations and a concept of a heuristic approach connected to the theoretical model. It is shown that the uncertainty management can be built into any heuristic algorithm developed to solve RCPSP with deterministic activity durations. The esse...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Model of Referring Expressions for Complex Objects
This paper presents a probabilistic model both for generation and understanding of referring expressions. This model introduces the concept of parts of objects, modelling the necessity to deal with the characteristics of separate parts of an object in the referring process. This was ignored or implicit in previous literature. Integrating this concept into a probabilistic formulation, the model ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Refinement Algorithms for the Generation of Referring Expressions
We propose an algorithm for the generation of referring expressions (REs) that adapts the approach of Areces et al. (2008, 2011) to include overspecification and probabilities learned from corpora. After introducing the algorithm, we discuss how probabilities required as input can be computed for any given domain for which a suitable corpus of REs is available, and how the probabilities can be ...
متن کاملUnified Representation of Typological, Absolute and Relational Predicates
In this paper, we show how to use a functional representation to implement different kinds of referential predicates (relational, absolute and typological, according to the typology proposed by Dale and Reiter). This implementation is intended to resolve extensional referring expressions in a practical dialogue system. We first show that all kinds of referential predicates are context-dependent...
متن کاملOptimal Locating and Sizing of Unified Power Quality Conditioner- phase Angle Control for Reactive Power Compensation in Radial Distribution Network with Wind Generation
In this article, a multi-objective planning is demonstrated for reactive power compensation in radial distribution networks with wind generation via unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). UPQC model, based on phase angle control (PAC), is used. In presented method, optimal locating of UPQC-PAC is done by simultaneous minimizing of objective functions such as: grid power loss, percentage of n...
