متن کاملA multi-layer conversation management approach for information seeking applications
The paper describes a new conversation management approach which may apply to a class of mixed initiative information seeking applications. It employs an application-independent conversation model inspired by the conversation theory of Grosz and Sidner [1]. Based on the model, we design a multi-layer conversation manager which employs instance-based learning (IBL) to determine conversation plan...

Let x denote a vector of length q consisting of 0s and 1s. It can be interpreted as an ‘opinion’ comprised of a particular set of responses to a questionnaire consisting of q questions, each having {0, 1}-valued answers. Suppose that the questionnaire is answered by n individuals, thus providing n ‘opinions’. Probabilities of the answer 1 to each question can be, basically, arbitrary and differ...
