Arguing on Communicative Goals in Explanations

چکیده
This paper describes how we simulate a dialog aimed at resolving conflicts between an Instructing and an Executing Agent in explanation text planning. We describe how the two agents are modelled. We then illustrate the algorithm which, starting from the discovery of a conflict and proceeding through a set of negotiated belief revisions, brings to solve the conflict or to conclude that it cannot be solved. An example in the domain of drug prescription is

متن کاملDialog Modeling in an Agent-based Framework
We describe an agent-based model of NL dialog, arguing that, by embedding a cooperation model in an agent architecture, the variability of dialog can be faced and linguistic phenomena can be modeled as general agent behavior. The coherence notion adopted in our model requires that the steps of a dialog contribute to the goals of the interactants; so, each turn is interpreted by matching its und...
