Spoken Natural Language Dialog Systems:

A Practical Approach (Google eBook)
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Oxford University Press, 1994 - 299 pages
As spoken natural language dialog systems technology continues to make great strides, numerous issues regarding dialog processing still need to be resolved. This book presents an exciting new dialog processing architecture that allows for a number of behaviors required for effective human-machine interactions, including: problem-solving to help the user carry out a task, coherent subdialog movement during the problem-solving process, user model usage, expectation usage for contextual interpretation and error correction, and variable initiative behavior for interacting with users of differing expertise. The book also details how different dialog problems in processing can be handled simultaneously, and provides instructions and in-depth result from pertinent experiments. Researchers and professionals in natural language systems will find this important new book an invaluable addition to their libraries.

Generalization Rules Two other model-based rules try to make generalizations based on the information in the user model. The concept generalization rule states: Rule 6 If the user model indicates that the user knows several concepts that are specializations of a common, more general concept in the domain model, the user modelling module may conclude that...

Page 22 - He elaborates on this point by saying that "collective intentionality seems to presuppose some level of sense of community before it can ever function." 42 This reason leads Searle to conclude that "collective intentional behavior is a primitive phenomenon that cannot be analyzed as just the summation of individual intentional behavior.
Page 24 - This paper describes a general architecture for a domain independent system for building and maintaining long term models of individual users. The user modeling system is intended to provide a well defined set of services for an application system which is interacting with various users and has a need to build and maintain models of them.
Page 27 - ... the conditions involved in the buying action. Thus the action rule might assert, for example, that the user knows that for an agent to buy something he must have money, and that after buying, the agent will have exchanged this money for something else. The action rule can be stated as follows: Rule 4 If the user model includes the belief that a user knows an action, then the the user modelling module can attribute to the user knowledge of the preconditions and postconditions of that action.
