Conversational Semantics with Social Commitments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Message semantics are traditionally defined in terms of mental states, which is a trend that is criticized for assuming the sincerity and cooperativeness of agents. To circumvent these limitations, several proposals have been put forth to define the semantics of messages using social commitments. We follow this trend and present a conversational model where the meaning of messages is based on their use as coordinating devices advancing conversations that advance the state of social commitments and the state of the activities in which agents participate.

Bringing Coherence to Agent Conversations
In this paper, we present a social model for software agent conversations for action based on social commitments and their negotiation. We depart from the premises that conversations are cornerstone to support autonomous and heterogeneous agents, and that conversational coherence can be supported through public definitions of speech act and compositional semantics. We specify a unified social m...
متن کاملA Modal Semantics for an Argumentation-Based Pragmatics for Agent Communication
In this paper we present a modal semantics for our approach based on social commitments and arguments for conversational agents. Our formal framework based on this approach uses three basic elements: social commitments, actions that agents apply to these social commitments and arguments that agents use to support their actions. This framework, called Commitment and Argument Network (CAN), forma...
متن کاملA New Logical Semantics for Agent Communication
In this paper we develop a semantics of our approach based on commitments and arguments for conversational agents. We propose a logical model based on CTL* (Extended Computation Tree Logic) and on dynamic logic. Called Commitment and Argument Network (CAN), our formal framework based on this hybrid approach uses three basic elements: social commitments, actions that agents apply to these commit...
متن کاملSocial constraints on rhetorical relations in dialogue
In dialogue a set of actions are realized by linguistic means, and have consequences on the state of the interaction between two speakers. Analysing the interaction, the emphasis can be put on the effects on the mental states of the participants or on the social effects of dialogue acts (obligations, commitments) resulting from conventions. We try here to relate a formal semantics approach to d...
متن کاملAn Integrated Semantics of Social Commitments and Associated Operations
In this paper, we develop a unified semantic model for social commitments and associated operations. We propose a logical model based on CTL∗ with modalities of commitments and associated operations that represent the dynamic behavior of agents. Our semantics differs from the previous proposals in which the operations used to manipulate commitments (e.g. creation, fulfillment, violation, withdr...
