The Semantics of Dialogue Acts
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an update semantic for dialogue acts, defined in terms of combinations of very simple ‘elementary update functions’. This approach allows fine-grained distinctions to be made between related types of dialogue acts, and relations like entailment and exclusion between dialogue acts to be established. The approach is applied to dialogue act representations as defined in the Dialogue Act Markup Language (DiAML), part of the recently proposed ISO standard 24617-2 for dialogue act annotation.

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 کاملA Pragmatic and Semantic Unified Framework for Agent Communication
In this thesis, we propose a unified framework for the pragmatics and the semantics of agent communication. Pragmatics deals with the way agents use communicative acts when conversing. It is related to the dynamics of agent interactions and to the way of connecting individual acts while building complete conversations. Semantics is interested in the meaning of these acts. It lays down the found...
متن کاملAgreement, Disputes and Commitments in Dialogue
This paper provides a logically precise analysis of agreement and disputes in dialogue. The semantics distinguishes among the public commitments of each dialogue agent, including commitments to relational speech acts or rhetorical relations (e.g., Narration, Explanation, Correction). Agreement is defined to be the shared entailments of the agents’ public commitments. We show that this makes pre...
متن کاملTowards Unsupervised Recognition of Dialogue Acts
When engaged in dialogues, people perform communicative actions to pursue specific communicative goals. Speech acts recognition attracted computational linguistics since long time and could impact considerably a huge variety of application domains. We study the task of automatic labeling dialogues with the proper dialogue acts, relying on empirical methods and simply exploiting lexical semantic...
متن کاملToward a Semantics for an Agent Communications Language Based on Speech-Acts
Implementations of systems based on distributed agent architectures require an agent communications language that has a clearly de ned semantics. Without one, neither agents nor developers can be sure what another agent's commitment to perform a task means (to name just one speech act). This paper demonstrates that a semantics for an agent communications language can be founded on the premise t...
