Representation and Reasoning in a Multimodal Conversational Character
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the reasoning mechanisms used in a fully-implemented dialogue system. This dialogue system, based on a speech acts formalism, supports a multimodal conversational character for Interactive Television. The system maintains an explicit representation of programme descriptions , which also constitutes an attentional structure. From the contents of this representation , it is possible to control various aspects of the dialogue process, from speech act identification to the multimodal presentation of the interface .

We argue that the three primary design drivers are real-time multithreaded entrainment, processing of both interactional and propositional information, and an approach based on a functional understanding of human face-to...
