Content Planning for Multi-modal, Mixed-initiative Task-oriented Dialog
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous research in content planning for generation has tended to assume that content planning can be performed: by one monolithic planning process using intentional and rhetorical structures only by performing top-down planning to produce complete plans and then executing them These are signiicant simplifying assumptions that may work for text and monologic discourse, but fail to account for signiicant aspects of dialog. We would like to examine these assumptions in a critical light, and to do that we propose the construction of a theory of content planning for task-oriented dialog that can handle global and local dialog behaviors (initiative, conversational conventions, turn-taking and grounding) as well as intentional and rhetorical structures, and that takes into account the diierent levels of dialog (domain, task and conversation).
