The past decade has seen the rapid development of a new approach to pragmatics that attempts integrate insights from formal and experimental semantics pragmatics, psycholinguistics, computational cognitive science in study meaning: probabilistic pragmatics. most influential is Rational Speech Act (RSA) framework. In this review, I demonstrate basic mechanics commitments RSA as well some its sta...

. We present in this paper, a modelling of an expertise in pragmatics. We follow knowledge engineering techniques and observe the expert when he analyses a social discussion forum. Then a number of models are defined. These models emphasises the process followed by the expert and a number of criteria used in his analysis. Results can be used as guides that help to understand and annotate discus...

This paper describes BRUIN, a unified A] system that can perform both problem-solving and language comprehension tasks. Included in the system is a frame-based knowledge-representation language called FRAIL, a problem solving component called NASL (which is based on McDermott's problem-solving language of the same name), and a context-recognition component currently known as PRAGMATICS. The int...

Intelligent multimedia presentation systems (IMMPS) have to take into account pragmatics and human factors such as the specificities of human perception, attention, memory, conceptualization, and language. Using a conversational animated agent or not, some principles can be followed to increase the communicative abilities of interactive systems. In this paper we propose a set of such principles...
