the present research aimed at investigating the interaction of the classroom talk to have a better understanding of the teachers’ practice teaching which can pave the way for reflection on teaching. the study benefitted from conversation analytic perspective to qualitatively and interpretively examine the classroom discourse of the teacher-learner interaction. the classroom talk was analyzed th...

The notion of conversations, and their associated conversation protocols, as abstract representations to be used to characterise extended agent message exchanges has been discussed in the agent community for several years now. However, there is still no consensus on an appropriate formal specification for these abstractions. This paper describes a proposed formalism based on Petri Nets that is ...

The conversation model captures interactions among the components of a composite web service. A conversation is the global sequence of messages exchanged among the components. We discuss the impact of asynchronous communication on the conversation behavior. It turns out that the conversation behavior is significantly different for synchronous and asynchronous communication and demands new techn...

Conversations provide an intuitive and simple model for analyzing interactions among composite web services. A conversation is the global sequence of messages exchanged among the peers participating to a composite web service. Interactions in a composite web service can be analyzed by investigating the temporal properties of its conversations. Conversations can be specified in a top-down or bot...

Natural language conversation is widely regarded as a highly difficult problem, which is usually attacked with either rule-based or learning-based models. In this paper we propose a retrieval-based automatic response model for short-text conversation, to exploit the vast amount of short conversation instances available on social media. For this purpose we introduce a dataset of short-text conve...
