Eeciency Tradeoos for Language and Action in Collaborative Tasks Aaai95 Symposium on Embodied Language and Action

چکیده
The view that communication is a type of action has provided a basis for research in natural language processing for many years. However , models of task-oriented dialogic interaction fail to fully exploit the language-as-action perspective because there is no deep understanding of the interaction between the dee-nition of the task, the autonomy of the agents doing the task, and eecient language behavior. In this paper, I examine the interaction of three factors:(1) agents' autonomy; (2) agents' resource bounds; and (3) the distribution of task-relevant information. I motivate a number of hypotheses with examples from naturally occurring task-oriented dialogues where agents' autonomy varies. Then I show that dialogue performance of two autonomous agents is better than the dialogue performance of one autonomous and one non-autonomous agent, independent of the information distribution, as long as the agents are resource bounded.

Objective: Brain trauma evidences suggest that the two grammatical categories of noun and verb are processed in different regions of the brain due to differences in the complexity of grammatical and semantic information processing. Studies have shown that the verbs belonging to different semantic categories lead to neural activity in different areas of the brain, and action verb processing is r...

Language is primarily constituted by action and interaction based on sensorimotor information. This paper demonstrates the nature of subjectivity and intersubjectivity through the neural mechanism and typological evidence of sentence-final particles from East Asian languages and extends to the discussion of the relationship between them. I propose that intersubjecivity is a kind of embedded or ...
