In 2019, media reports raised awareness about privacy and security violations in Conversational User Interfaces (CUI) like Alexa, Siri Google. Users report that they perceive CUI as creepy are concerned their privacy. The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) several other laws across the globe, give users right to control processing of data, for example by requesting deletion data...

Model expansion is a widely accepted way to solve a range of problems. It is achieved by encoding the problem in a declarative (logic) language such that structures which satisfy the specification are solutions to the problem. Model expansion is researched in domains like Knowledge Representation and Answer Set Programming. The ground-andsolve methodology tackles model expansion by converting t...

ite power and grounding audits/evaluations of commercial and industrial locations routinely identify electrical power system grounding and bonding problems. According to S. Frank Waterer, an electrical engineering IEEE Fellow at Schneider Electric with more than 30 years of experience, approximately 70% of all anomalies, dysfunctions, or problems associated with power distribution systems are d...

In the last years the authors have developed a numerical formulation based on the Boundary Element Method for the analysis of grounding systems embedded in uniform soils. This approach has been implemented in a CAD system that currently allows to analyze real grounding grids in real-time in personal computers. The extension of this approach for the grounding analysis in layered soils is straigh...

HEX-programs enrich the well-known Answer Set Programming (ASP) paradigm. In HEX, problems are solved using nonmonotonic logic programs with bidirectional access to external sources. ASP evaluation is traditionally based on grounding the input program first, but recent advances in lazy-grounding make the latter also interesting for HEX, as the grounding bottleneck of ASP may be avoided. We expl...

In this paper, a calculation method of the sheath circulating current is introduced, taking the different grounding types, laying environment, structural parameters of cables into account. Due to the parameters in practice, the circulating currents in sheath are calculated and measured under the conditions of singlepoint grounding and both-end crossbonded grounding. The possible causes, which l...

The grounding process relies on the evidence that speakers give about their understanding (Clark and Schaefer, 1989). However in existing models of grounding (Cahn, 1992; Cahn and Brennan, 1999; Traum, 1999) evidence of understanding is assumed to be symmetrically and synchronously shared by the speakers. We propose a grounding model based on (Cahn, 1992) that removes these simplifications; we ...

Abstract Conversational recommender systems aim to interactively support online users in their information search and decision-making processes an intuitive way. With the latest advances voice-controlled devices, natural language processing, AI general, such received increased attention recent years. Technically, conversational recommenders are usually complex multi-component applications often...

Semantic role labeling (SRL) aims to extract the arguments for each predicate in an input sentence. Traditional SRL can fail analyze dialogues because it only works on every single sentence, while ellipsis and anaphora frequently occur dialogues. To address this problem, we propose conversational task, where argument be dialogue participants, a phrase history or current As existing datasets are...
