Applying Preferences to Dialogue Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
An abstract framework for formalising persuasion dialogues has recently been proposed. The framework provides for a range of speech acts, and protocols of varying levels of flexibility. However, the framework assumes the availability of preference information relevant to determining whether arguments moved in a dialogue defeat each other. However, preference information may only become available after the dialogue has terminated. Hence, in this paper, we describe dialogues conducted under the assumption of an attack relation that does not account for preferences. We then describe how the resultant dialogue graph can be pruned by a preference relation in order to determine whether the winner of the dialogue is still the winner given the newly available preference information. We also describe a class of protocols that account for subsequent pruning by a preference relation, and show that under a restriction on the pruning, if the player defending the dialogue’s main topic is winning the dialogue, then (s)he remains the winner irrespective of the preference relation applied.

The Dialogue graphs are used in TADEUS to support an explicit dialogue modelling stage in a task-oriented and model-based approach to the development of interactive systems and automatic generation of the user interface code. The requirements of such a s...
متن کاملTowards a General Framework for Dialogues That Accommodate Reasoning About Preferences
Argumentation theory provides foundations for distributed nonmonotonic reasoning in the form of inter-agent dialogues. However current dialogue models do not accommodate reasoning about possibly conflicting preferences used in arbitrating amongst attacking arguments. We provide a framework for persuasion dialogues that accommodates such reasoning. Agents exchange locutions that implicitly defin...
متن کاملLearning Better Trading Dialogue Policies by Inferring Opponent Preferences: (Extended Abstract)
Negotiation dialogue capabilities have been identified as important in a variety of application areas. In prior work, it was shown how Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents can learn to use implicit and explicit manipulation moves in dialogue to manipulate their adversaries in non-cooperative trading games. We now show that trading dialogues are more successful when the RL agent builds an opponent...
متن کاملConnrmation in Transaction Dialogues
This paper investigates preferences and choices in automated transaction dialogues. A transaction dialogue involves obligations of both parties: the system or supplier should present all relevant information; the user or customer is bound by a transaction, once it is con-rmed. However, the transaction is conditional on the preferences and choices that were expressed in the dialogue. Connrmation...
