Developing a corpus of strategic conversation in The Settlers of Catan
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a dialogue model and an implemented annotation scheme for a pilot corpus of annotated online chats concerning bargaining negotiations in the game The Settlers of Catan. We will use this model and data to analyze how conversations proceed in the absence of strong forms of cooperativity, where agents have diverging motives. Here we concentrate on the description of our annotation scheme for negotiation dialogues, illustrated with our pilot data, and some perspectives for future research on the issue.

Grounding Strategic Conversation: Using Negotiation Dialogues to Predict Trades in a Win-Lose Game
This paper describes a method that predicts which trades players execute during a winlose game. Our method uses data collected from chat negotiations of the game The Settlers of Catan and exploits the conversation to construct dynamically a partial model of each player’s preferences. This in turn yields equilibrium trading moves via principles from game theory. We compare our method against fou...
متن کاملVocabulary Lists for EAP and Conversation Students
Despite the abundance of research investigating general and academic vocabularies and developing dozens of word lists, few studies have compared academic vocabulary with general service word lists such as conversation vocabulary. Many EAP researchers assume that university students need to know all the words in West’s (1953) General Service List (GSL) as a prerequisite to academic words (e.g., ...
متن کاملUsing Multi-agent System Technologies in Settlers of Catan Bots
Settlers of Catan is a board game where the main goal is to collect victory points by building a society of settlements, cities and connecting roads. We have constructed a multi-agent system solution able to play the game and evaluated it against other available bots for the game. Our initial results show that even if the proposed solution does not beat the best monolithic solutions, its strate...
متن کاملMonte-Carlo Tree Search in Settlers of Catan
Games are considered important benchmark opportunities for artificial intelligence research. Modern strategic board games can typically be played by three or more people, which makes them suitable test beds for investigating multi-player strategic decision making. Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a recently published family of algorithms that achieved successful results with classical, two-pla...
متن کاملRevealing Resources in Strategic Contexts
Identifying an optimal game strategy often involves estimating the strategies of other agents, which in turn depends on hidden parts of the game state. In this paper we focus on the win-lose game The Settlers of Catan (or Settlers), in which players negotiate over limited resources. More precisely, our goal is to map each player’s utterances in such negotiations to a model of which resources th...
