A Logical Framework for Grounding-based Dialogue Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major critique against BDI (Belief, Desire, Intention) approaches to communication is that they require strong hypotheses such as sincerity and cooperation on the mental states of the agents (cf. for example [13,14,5]). The aim of this paper is to remed this defect. Thus we study communication between heterogeneous agents via the notion of grounding, in the sense of being publicly expressed and established. We show that this notion is different from social commitment, from the standard mental attitudes, and from different versions of common belief. Our notion is founded on speech act theory, and it is directly related to the expression of the sincerity condition [9,11,16] when a speech act is performed. We use this notion to characterize speech acts in terms of preconditions and effects. As an example we show how persuasion dialogues à la Walton & Krabbe can be analyzed in our framework. In particular we show how speech act preconditions constrain the possible sequences of speech acts.

متن کاملGrounding and Correcting Commitments in Dialogue
This paper provides a logically precise analysis of grounding and disputes in dialogue. The semantics distinguishes among the public commitments of each dialogue participant, including commitments to relational speech acts or rhetorical relations (e.g., Narration, Explanation, Acknowledgement). Thus commitments to the illocutionary contribution of an utterance as well as to its compositional se...
متن کاملMaking grounding decisions
Given a speech recognition hypothesis, a dialogue system has the choice of accepting or rejecting this hypothesis, but can also choose to provide evidence of understanding, such as a clarification request, or display its understanding. In 3.3.2.7, this choice was referred to as the grounding decision problem. In the previous chapters, a static model with hand-crafted thresholds was used. In thi...
متن کاملBeyond structured dialogues: factoring out grounding
Structured dialogue models are currently the only tools for easily building spoken dialogue systems. This approach, however, requires the dialogue designer to completely specify all dialogue behavior between the user and system, including how information is grounded between the user and the system. In this paper, we advocate factoring out the grounding behavior from structured dialogue models b...
متن کاملDegrees of Grounding Based on Evidence of Understanding
We introduce the Degrees of Grounding model, which defines the extent to which material being discussed in a dialogue has been grounded. This model has been developed and evaluated by a corpus analysis, and includes a set of types of evidence of understanding, a set of degrees of groundedness, a set of grounding criteria, and methods for identifying each of these. We describe how this model can...
