−− Clarification of apple juice by flocculation and precipitation with bentonite and gelatin is explained on a more systematic basis, essentially through the determination of turbidity and zetapotential. Apple juice was also treated with Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) to remove total polyphenol. Gelatin-particle complex was evaluated as the increase in juice turbidity after the adding of tanni...

In previous work, we used plan recognition to improve responses to users in an advice-giving setting. We then characterized when it was worthwhile to engage a user in clarification dialogue--the cases where plan ambiguity mattered to the formulation of a response. Our current research develops detailed algorithms for selecting what to say during the clarification dialogue. We propose a default ...

Current dialogue systems are fairly poor in generating the wide range of clarification strategies as found in human-human dialogue. The overall aim of this work is to learn when and how to best employ different types of clarification strategies in multimodal dialogue systems. This paper describes a framework for learning multimodal clarification strategies for an in-car MP3 music player dialogu...
