For infectious disease dynamical models to inform policy for containment of infectious diseases the models must be able to predict; however, it is well recognised that such prediction will never be perfect. Nevertheless, the consensus is that although models are uncertain, some may yet inform effective action. This assumes that the quality of a model can be ascertained in order to evaluate suff...

Verbmobil is a long-term project on the translation of spontaneous language in negotiation dialogs. We describe the goals of the project, the chosen discourse domains and the initial project schedule. We discuss some of the distinguishing features of Verbmobil and introduce the notion of translation on demand and variable depth of processing in speech translation. Finally, the role of anytime m...

Biermann Department of Computer Science Duke University Durham, North Carolina 27706 ABSTRACT This paper presents a model of collaborative discourse which integrates problem-solving, discourse, and con ict resolution. Experimental evidence obtained from an implementation of this theory demonstrates the e ectiveness of the con ict resolution methods within the model. 1. Mo...

A high-level dialogue system involves symbolic reasoning and deep understanding of user input, and its object is to handle complex dialogue phenomena such as inference and negotiation. However, it is difficult for high-level dialogue techniques to be extended toward a practical dialogue system that must generate effective responses in a real environment because the high-level dialogue technique...

The trope of the "body politic" is reproduced in a Bengali popular court, or moot, not only through explicit submetaphors of that master metaphor but through a grammatical example of what Peirce called diagrammatic iconism. The iconism of reduplicated verbs with reciprocal meaning became pivotal in the metacommunicative negotiation of the agenda of a rural Bangladeshi moot. Such forms of iconic...
