A multi-layer conversation management approach for information seeking applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes a new conversation management approach which may apply to a class of mixed initiative information seeking applications. It employs an application-independent conversation model inspired by the conversation theory of Grosz and Sidner [1]. Based on the model, we design a multi-layer conversation manager which employs instance-based learning (IBL) to determine conversation plans, while performs modularized realization of each conversation move in a conversation plan. Because we adopt IBL to determine conversation plans, new conversation behaviors are easy to incorporate. Our realization of conversation moves is also application-independent. We illustrate this method with a real estate application.

Information Behavior of Elites in the Search of Knowledge Requirement
Abstract: Information behavior is one of the important research fields in the knowledge management. It could be considered as an effective factor in design, development and evaluation of data mining applications. This paper introduces an approach called elite information behavior in response to educational and research evolutions. This research is quantitative and tries to investigate the diffe...
متن کاملIdeas on Multi-layer Dialogue Management for Multi-party, Multi-conversation, Multi-modal Communication
Most current dialogue systems concern only a short dialogue between a single system and single user, focused on a single task. On the other hand, the full spectrum of communication between interacting agents includes cases in which multiple segments of conversation can be interleaved with other, sometimes unrelated actions and events (e.g., a cocktail party). Language use in the Mission Rehears...
متن کاملPerformance comparison of land change modeling techniques for land use projection of arid watersheds
The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...
متن کاملIntegration of artificial neural network and geographic information system applications in simulating groundwater quality
Background: Although experiments on water quality are time consuming and expensive, models are often employed as supplement to simulate water quality. Artificial neural network (ANN) is an efficient tool in hydrologic studies, yet it cannot predetermine its results in the forms of maps and geo-referenced data. Methods: In this study, ANN was applied to simulate groundwater quality ...
متن کاملA fuzzy multi-objective model for a project management problem
In this research, the multi-objective project management decision problem with fuzzy goals and fuzzy constraints are considered. We constitute α-cut approach and two various fuzzy goal programming solution methods for solving the Multi-Objective Project Management (MOPM) decision problem under fuzzy environments. The Interactive fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (i-FMOLP) and Weighted Ad...
