Modeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
متن کاملPlan Revision In Person-Machine Dialogue
Dialogue is a cooperative process in which each speech act of the participants contributes to the overall purpose of the dialogne. Participating in a full dialogue implies understanding at each point of the dialogue session the role of each speech act with respect to the rest of the dialogne. We concentrate in this paper on speech acts that diverge from the straightforward unfolding of the dial...
متن کاملIntegrating prosodic features in dialogue understanding
We report our studies on functions of prosodic information in dialogue and on the result of our experiment in dialogue using a speech understanding system that incorporates a discrimination schema for illocutionary acts using prosodic features obtained from human-human dialogs. For constructing a speech understanding system with an ‘effortless’ interface, it is necessary to model coordination i...

متن کاملAn Integrated Dialogue Analysis Model for Determining Speech Acts and Discourse Structures
Analysis of speech acts and discourse structures is essential to a dialogue understanding system because speech acts and discourse structures are closely tied with the speaker’s intention. However, it has been difficult to infer a speech act and a discourse structure from a surface utterance because they highly depend on the context of the utterance. We propose a statistical dialogue analysis m...
متن کاملExtended Abstract: Computational Models of Non-cooperative dialogue
Cooperativity is usually seen as a central concept in the pragmatics of dialogue. There are a number of accounts of dialogue performance and interpretation that require some notion of cooperation or collaboration as part of the explanatory mechanism of communication. For instance, Grice’s cooperativity principle and associated maxims are used to explain conversational implicature (Grice, 1975)....
