In this paper, we describe the development of a meeting assistant agent that helps remote meeting participants by notifying them when they are being addressed. We present experiments that have been conducted to develop machine classifiers to decide whether “you are being addressed” where “you” refers to a fixed (remote) participant in a meeting. The experimental results back up the choices made...

This paper examines the resolution of the second person English pronoun you in multi-party dialogue. Following previous work, we attempt to classify instances as generic or referential, and in the latter case identify the singular or plural addressee. We show that accuracy and robustness can be improved by use of simple lexical features, capturing the intuition that different uses and addressee...

Understanding the communicative intentions of others based on their behavior can be seen as an ‘inference to the best explanation’, a.k.a. abduction. As abduction is often an intractable task, it has been suggested that communicators alleviate the work of an addressee by performing recipient design, adapting their behavior to the presumed beliefs and knowledge of the addressee. In this paper we...

Our branch predictor proposed for the Championship Branch Prediction (CBP) contest is a hybrid/mutation of many different ideas previously proposed in the literature, combined with a few new techniques. The mix of traces requires the predictor to handle both capacity (large tables) and deep correlation extraction (long branch histories), both made difficult by the relatively small hardware budg...

The article is devoted to the separation of legislative discourse among other types legal discourse. specifics speaker and addressee in are characterized, its communicative purpose determined. typology speech genres Ukrainian communication presented. Speech such as law, constitution, decree, code bylaw analyzed. Linguo-pragmatic parameters were chosen criteria for – intention positions addresse...

the objective of this study is evaluation of topographic wetness index (twi) using attraction model in northern of fars province. the first attraction model was used to enhance the spatial resolution of digital elevation model (dem). in this research to estimate of value of sub-pixels neighboring pixels, touching and quadrant neighboring models were used. after manufacturing output images for s...

I make three related proposals concerning the development of receptive communication in human infants. First, I propose that the presence of communicative intentions can be recognized in others’ behaviour before the content of these intentions is accessed or inferred. Second, I claim that such recognition can be achieved by decoding specialized ostensive signals. Third, I argue on empirical bas...
