| Abstract: | The general goal of our work is to investigate computational
models of dialog that can support effective interaction between people and
computer systems. We are particularly interested in the use of dialog for
training and education. To support effective communication, dialog systems
must facilitate users' understanding by incrementally presenting only the
most relevant information, by evaluating users' understanding, and by adapting
the interaction to address communication problems as they arise.
Our theory provides a specification and representation of the linguistic, intentional, and social information that influence how people understand and respond in an ongoing dialog and an architecture for combining this information. We represent knowledge uniformly in a single, declarative, logical language where the interpretation and performance of communicative acts in dialog occurs as a result of reasoning. |
