Semanti Negotiation: Modelling Ambiguity in Dialogue

Computing negotiation update semantics in multi-issue bargaining dialogues

This paper presents a computational approach to modelling pragmatic and semantic aspects of multi-issue bargaining dialogues. The model accounts for actions that shape negotiation structure and actions that express negotiation strategies. The model also accepts a number of negotiation moves as specifications of the semantic content of the performed taskrelated dialogue acts. The designed dialog...

Semantics and Pragmatics in the ELTA Dialogue Project

This paper 1 describes work in progress concerning the semantic and pragmatic interpretation of utterances in human-computer natural language information dialogues, as developed in the ELTA project at Tilburg University. This project aims at developing and applying an integrated approach to semantic and pragmatic interpretation of dialogue utterances, where the application is sought in the form...

A Model for Feature-Based User Model Interoperability on the Web

In this paper we present a model for User Model (UM) interoperability among feature-based adaptive applications on the Web. In order to enhance the interaction capabilities of such systems, we propose to exploit Web standards for interoperability, i.e. Web Services technologies and Semantic Web languages, together with negotiation techniques based on dialogue. Our model is based on a Service Or...

Modelling Negotiation in Intelligent Teaching Dialogues1

In this chapter we aim to establish a set of requirements for the design and implementation of models for sustaining dialogue in Intelligent Tutoring Systems, which incorporate mechanisms for negotiating cooperative teaching and learning goals. Our discussion is centred around a first prototype computational model called "KANT"`(Kritical Argument Negotiated Tutoring system), which incorporates ...
