The Repair of Speech Act Misunderstandings by Abductive Inference

Abductive Explanation of Dialogue Misunderstandings
, 1993
"... To respond to an utterance, a listener must interpret what others have said and why they have said it. Misunderstandings occur when agents differ in their beliefs about what has been said or why. Our work com- bines intentional and social accounts of dis- course, unifying theories of speech ac ..."

act production, interpretation, and the repair of misunderstandings. A unified theory has been developed by characterizing the generation of utterances as default reasoning and using abduction to characterize inter- pretation and repair.
Abductive Interpretation And Reinterpretation Of Natural Language Utterances
, 1993
"... To decide how to respond to an utterance, a speaker must interpret what others have said and why they have said it. Speakers rely on their expectations to decide whether they have understood each other. Misunderstandings occur when speakers differ in their beliefs about what has been said or why. If ..."

fourth-position repair. To model the repair of misunderstandings, this thesis combines both intentional and social accounts of discourse, unifying theories of speech act production, interpretation, and repair. In intentional accounts, speakers use their beliefs, goals, and expectations to decide what
A Logic Programming Framework for the Abductive Inference of Intentions in Cooperative Dialogues
"... In this paper we propose a general logic programming framework allowing the recognition of plans and intentions behind speech acts through abductive reasoning. These inferences enables each agent to have an active participation in dialogues, namely in cooperative informationseeking dialogues. I ..."

Abductive Understanding of Dialogues about Joint Activities
, 2014
"... This paper examines the task of understanding dialogues in terms of the mental states of the participating agents. We present a motivating example that clarifies the challenges this problem involves and then outline a theory of dialogue interpretation based on abductive inference of these unobserved ..."

Cooperating reasoning processes: More than just the sum of their parts. Research Excellence Award Acceptance Speech at IJCAI-07
, 2007
"... Using the achievements of my research group over the last 30+ years, I provide evidence to support the following hypothesis: By complementing each other, cooperat-ing reasoning process can achieve much more than they could if they only acted individually. Most of the work of my group has been on pro ..."

Pragmatics Encoded and Decoded Message
, 2013
"... Abstract People's utterances while interacting have different meanings according to the circumstances and the intentions that speakers try to convey to a listener, while the listener may misunderstand and even get insulted because of the lack of information regarding the subject. It is a field ..."

field studied by Pragmatics but the main study of this paper is discussing the indispensible effort that should be made by speakers when conveying an idea by adding more details possible in order to prevent insulting. The paper deals with all features of Pragmatics including speech acts, reference
Adaptive Machinery to Support Natural Conversations
"... Real-time adaptation and ongoing learning promise to provide computational machinery to support fluid conversational interaction. We will focus on representations and inferential strategies that can provide real-time adaptation to multiple characteristics of a conversation. The work approaches conve ..."
Abstract

largely to the special context of interacting with a computer, they are not uncommon in conversations among people. Limitations of speech recognition hardware and software may severely limit the abilities of computers to interpret a user’s utterances with certainty. Furthermore, automated inference
Digital Libraries Research at GMD-IPSI: Accessing Multimedia Documents by Knowledge Discovery Methods and Intelligent Retrieval
"... Information Retrieval A typical session with a conventional bibliographic database consists of a series of searches each based on the results of previous attempts. During this interaction the user elaborates her query and probably also her information need. While in this process the user is involved ..."

-system. Within this approach the goal is to move as much as possible of the cognitive load from the user to the IR-system. This requires the analysis and modelling of the search process. For this purpose we employ a model of the dialog that is based on a speech act analysis and decomposition (Sitter & Stein
