Balancing Transactions in Practical Dialogues

چکیده
In this paper a theory of dialogue acts analysis in problem-solving tasks-oriented conversations is presented. The theory postulates that in practical dialogues every transaction has a component in the obligations and the common ground planes of expression, and contributions made by dialogue acts making a “charge” in the transaction should be “balanced” by contributions making the corresponding “credit”, and a complete transaction is balanced in both of these planes. In addition, transactions have a structure which constraints strongly the realization of dialogue acts. A dialogue act tagging methodology based on the theory is also presented. The theory and its related methodology have been applied to the analysis of a multimodal corpus in a design task, and the figures of the agreement reached in the preliminary experiments are presented.

متن کاملParallel Transaction Processing in Functional Languages Towards Practical Functional Databases
This paper shows how functional languages can be adapted for transaction processing, and discusses the implementation of a parallel runtime system for such functional transaction processing languages. We extend functional languages with current state variables and result state variables to allow the definition of transactions that can update, create and delete bindings in a state. Our runtime s...
متن کاملMaaT: Effective and scalable coordination of distributed transactions in the cloud
The past decade has witnessed an increasing adoption of cloud database technology, which provides better scalability, availability, and fault-tolerance via transparent partitioning and replication, and automatic load balancing and fail-over. However, only a small number of cloud databases provide strong consistency guarantees for distributed transactions, despite decades of research on distribu...
متن کاملReplicability of Transaction and Action Coding in the Map Task Corpus
Task-oriented dialogues can normally be divided into subdialogues, each of which reflects collaboration on a particular substep of the task, and which we call ’transactions’. We have devised a way of identifying transactions and their associated actions for HCRC Map Task dialogues, and we have tested the replicability of our coding scheme using naive subjects.
