Multi-agent Human-Machine Dialogue: Issues in Dialogue Management and Referring Expression Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a human-machine dialogue system which is configured to support dialogue between multiple speakers. The user is one speaker, and the system ‘plays’ a number of other speakers. We present a number of principles governing dialogue management in such cases, which relate to turn-taking and the identification of the addressees of utterances. We also describe how the syntactic and semantic treatment of firstand second-person personal pronouns, and of addressee terms, need to be extended to deal with the multi-speaker scenario. We conclude by giving some examples.

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 کاملLearning to Adapt to Unknown Users: Referring Expression Generation in Spoken Dialogue Systems
We present a data-driven approach to learn user-adaptive referring expression generation (REG) policies for spoken dialogue systems. Referring expressions can be difficult to understand in technical domains where users may not know the technical ‘jargon’ names of the domain entities. In such cases, dialogue systems must be able to model the user’s (lexical) domain knowledge and use appropriate ...
متن کاملA Multi-Purpose Dialogue Management System employing Visual Anthropomorphous Agent
We have been constructing a visual anthro-pomorphous agent system called Visual Software Agent(VSA). The VSA has a texture-mapped realistic human facial image and moves his/her face with facial expression in real-time. Also, it can recognize the speech dialogue of a user and can respond in synthesized voice sentence with synchronizing his/her mouth movement. This style of multi-modal dialogue s...
متن کاملDialogue homme-machine multimodal : de la pragmatique linguistique à la conception de systèmes. (Multimodal human-machine dialogue: from pragmatic linguistics to system design)
Human-machine dialogue aims at providing natural dialogue in natural language, i.e., allowing the user to speak using his own language (natural language), following a structure of moves and exchanges that is similar to human dialogue structure (natural dialogue). Related research works feed on linguistics, which analyses language markers, and pragmatics, which analyses language use in context. ...

REFERRING EXPRESSION GENERATION TOWARDS MEDIATING SHARED PERCEPTUAL BASIS IN SITUATED DIALOGUE By Rui Fang Situated human-robot dialogue has received increasing attention in recent years. In situated dialogue, robots/artificial agents and their human partners are co-present in a shared physical world. Robots need to automatically perceive and make inference of the shared environment. Due to its...
