Basic Communicative Acts (BCAs): A Strategy for Implementing Context-sensitive Dialogue in Social Robots
نویسنده
چکیده
Verbal interaction among humans is a dazzlingly complex process, requiring integration of a number of cognitive competences like the faculty of language, semantic memory, scene understanding, Theory of Mind, interactional alignment, cultural knowledge, and more (Levinson 2006). Most researchers in the fields of computational linguistics and human-robot interaction (HRI) believe that we are still decades away from human-like interaction capacities in machines. An important question is whether all the mentioned faculties will have to be implemented at once in order to enable a natural interaction experience for the human user, or whether it is possible to realize a simple yet realistic type of ‘basic’ interaction competence in the nearer future, then gradually enrich it in order to implement human-like skills at a later point in time.

Modeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
متن کاملIs Silence Golden in Human-Robot Dialogue?
The physical actions performed by any robot can be used to convey meaning to a user in human-robot interaction. For example, successfully performing an action following a request may be viewed as an acceptance, while performing the wrong action may be construed as a mis-understanding. Even hesitating to perform a requested physical action may be viewed as a signal of non-understanding. Thus, un...
متن کاملDialogue control functions and interaction design
This paper is concerned with the design of interactive teaching systems from the point of view of dialogue theory. It is argued that transparency and naturalness are important qualities of a dialogue for the student, helping him to concentrate on the learning task (thanks to naturalness) and to understand his own performance (thanks to transparency). It is argued that these qualities are also i...
متن کاملJoint Identification and Segmentation of Domain-Specific Dialogue Acts for Conversational Dialogue Systems
Individual utterances often serve multiple communicative purposes in dialogue. We present a data-driven approach for identification of multiple dialogue acts in single utterances in the context of dialogue systems with limited training data. Our approach results in significantly increased understanding of user intent, compared to two strong baselines.
متن کاملSignalling the Interpretation of Indicrect Speech Acts
This panel was asked to consider how various "problem contexts" (e.g., cooperatively assembling a pump, or Socratically teaching law) influence the use of language. As a starting point, I shall regard the problem context as establishing a set of expectations and assumptions about the shared beliefs, goals, and social roles of those participants. Just how people negotiate that they are in a give...
