A Plan Recognition Model for Clarification Subdialogues
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the promising approaches to analyzing taskoriented dialogues has involved modeling the plans of the speakers in the task domain. In general, these models work well as long as the topic follows the task structure closely, but they have difficulty in accounting for clarification subdialogues and topic change. We have developed a model based on a hierarchy of plans and metaplans that accounts for the clarification subdialogues while maintaining the advantages of the plan-based approach.

A Three-Level Model for Plan Exploration
In modeling the structure of task-related discourse using plans, it is important to distinguish between plans that the agent has adopted and is pursuing and those that are only being considered and explored, since the kinds of utterances arising from a particular domain plan and the patterns of reference to domain plans and movement within the plan tree are quite different in the two cases. Thi...
متن کاملLearning to Balance Grounding Rationales for Dialogue Systems
This paper reports on an experiment that investigates clarification subdialogues in intentionally noisy speech recognition. The architecture learns weights for mixtures of grounding strategies from examples provided by a human wizard embedded in the system. Results indicate that the architecture learns to eliminate misunderstandings reliably despite high word error rate.
متن کاملModeling Negotiation Subdialogues
This paper presents a plan-based model that handles negotiation subdialogues by inferring both the communicative actions that people pursue when speaking and the beliefs underlying these actions. We contend that recognizing the complex discourse actions pursued in negotiation subdialogues (e.g., expressing doubt) requires both a multi-strength belief model and a process model that combines diff...
متن کاملThe Use of Knowledge Preconditions in Language Processing
If an agent does not possess the knowledge needed to perform an action, it may privately plan to obtain the required information on its own, or it may involve another agent in the planning process by engaging it in a dialogue. In this paper, we show how the requirements of knowledge preconditions can be used to account for information-seeking subdialogues in discourse. We first present an axiom...
متن کاملA Process Model for Recognizing Communicative Acts and Modeling Negotiation Subdialogues
Negotiation is an important part of task-oriented expert-consultation dialogues. This paper presents a plan-based model for understanding cooperative negotiation subdialogues. Our system infers both the communicative actions that people pursue when speaking and the beliefs underlying these actions. Beliefs, and the strength of these beliefs, are recognized from the surface form of utterances,fr...
