1 Dialogue and Compound Contributions Matthew

چکیده
In this chapter, we examine the phenomenon of compound contributions (CCs) and the implications for NLG in interactive systems. Compound contributions are contributions in dialogue which continue or complete an earlier contribution, thus resulting in a single syntactic or semantic (propositional) unit built across multiple contributions, provided by one speaker or more than one (1.1). The term as used here therefore includes more specific cases that have been referred to as expansions, (collaborative) completions, and split or shared utterances.

1 Dialogue and Compound Contributions
This chapter introduces the phenomenon of compound contributions in dialogue and discusses their implications for NLG in interactive systems. Contributions to dialogue are often split across multiple utterances – possibly by different speakers – with each adding to an incrementally emerging representation of meaning. A suitable NLG module must therefore not only behave incrementally – able to u...
متن کاملOn Incrementality in Dialogue: Evidence from Compound Contributions
Spoken contributions in dialogue often continue or complete earlier contributions by either the same or a different speaker. These compound contributions (CCs) thus provide a natural context for investigations of incremental processing in dialogue. We present a corpus study which confirms that CCs are a key dialogue phenomenon: almost 20% of contributions fit our general definition of CCs, with...
متن کاملWhose turn is it anyway? Same- and cross-person compound contributions in dialogue
In natural conversation people sometimes build larger grammatical, semantic and pragmatic units out of multiple turns or installments. The incremental and collaborative character of these ‘compound contributions’ presents challenges for theories of natural language processing. Compounds produced over successive turns by one person have often been analysed in essentially the same way as compound...
متن کاملFinishing each other's ... Responding to incomplete contributions in dialogue
A distinguishing feature of dialogue is that contributions can be fragmentary or incomplete. Such incomplete utterances may be later completed by another interlocutor. These cross-person compound contributions (CCs) have been hypothesised to be more likely in predictable contexts but the contributions of different sources of predictability has not been systematically investigated. In this paper...
متن کاملAn Information-State Approach to Collaborative Reference
We describe a dialogue system that works with its interlocutor to identify objects. Our contributions include a concise, modular architecture with reversible processes of understanding and generation, an information-state model of reference, and flexible links between semantics and collaborative problem solving.
