Imperatives for Virtual Humans
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seemingly since the inception of virtual humans, there has been an effort to make their behaviors more natural and more humanlike. In additions to work on improving movement quality, there has been considerable research focused on creating more intelligent virtual characters. This paper presents a framework inspired by natural language constructs that aims to author more reasonable virtual human behaviors using structured English input. We focus mainly on object types and properties, quantifiers, determiners, and spatial relations. The framework provides a natural, flexible authoring system for human behaviors.

متن کاملTopics in Imperatives
Traditional grammars typically manage to describe imperatives in just a few pages, suggesting there is not much to be said about them, nor to be learned from them. After a somewhat slow start, work on imperatives has really taken off, and many interesting properties of imperatives have now been uncovered (see van der Wurff, this volume, for an overview). Imperatives are relatively short and occ...
متن کاملA logic and semantics for imperatives
Truth is undefined for imperative statements. However, if imperatives implicitly reference a fact, they can be rephrased as truth-valuable declaratives explicitly referencing that fact. But are there such facts? Kenny held that any imperative references a set of wishes held by its imperator. I extend his thesis by proposing that imperator wishes are facts implicitly referenced by imperatives an...
متن کاملImperatives and modals
Imperatives may be interpreted with many subvarieties of directive force, for example as orders, invitations, or pieces of advice. I argue that the range of meanings that imperatives can convey should be identified with the variety of interpretations that are possible for non-dynamic root modals (what I call ‘priority modals’), including deontic, bouletic, and teleological readings. This paper ...
