Centering: A Framework for Modeling the Local Coherence Of Discourse

by Barbara J. Grosz, Scott Weinstein, Aravind K. Joshi - Computational Linguistics , 1995
"... This paper concerns relationships among focus of attention, choice of referring expression, and perceived coherence of utterances within a discourse segment. It presents a framework and initial theory of centering intended to model the local component of attentional state. The paper examines intera ..."

Lexical-Functional Grammar: A Formal System for Grammatical Representation

by Ronald M. Kaplan, Joan Bresnan - IN: FORMAL ISSUES IN LEXICAL-FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR , 1995
"... In learning their native language, children develop a remarkable set of capabilities. They acquire knowledge and skills that enable them to produce and comprehend an indefinite number of novel utterances, and to make quite subtle judgments about certain of their properties. The major goal of psychol ..."

Toward a model of text comprehension and production

by Walter Kintsch, Teun A. Van Dijk - Psychological Review , 1978
"... The semantic structure of texts can be described both at the local microlevel and at a more global macrolevel. A model for text comprehension based on this notion accounts for the formation of a coherent semantic text base in terms of a cyclical process constrained by limitations of working memory. ..."

An integrated theory of the mind

by John R. Anderson, Daniel Bothell, Michael D. Byrne, Scott Douglass, Christian Lebiere, Yulin Qin - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 2004
"... There has been a proliferation of proposed mental modules in an attempt to account for different cognitive functions but so far there has been no successful account of their integration. ACT-R (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) has evolved into a theory that consists of multiple modules but also explain ..."

explains how they are integrated to produce coherent cognition. The perceptual-motor modules, the goal module, and the declarative memory module are presented as examples of specialized systems in ACT-R. These modules are associated with distinct cortical regions. These modules place chunks in buffers

Estimating Wealth Effects without Expenditure Data— or Tears

by Deon Filmer, Lant Pritchett - Policy Research Working Paper 1980, The World , 1998
"... Abstract: We use the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data collected in Indian states in 1992 and 1993 to estimate the relationship between household wealth and the probability a child (aged 6 to 14) is enrolled in school. A methodological difficulty to overcome is that the NFHS, modeled closely ..."

Towards flexible teamwork

by Milind Tambe - JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH , 1997
"... Many AI researchers are today striving to build agent teams for complex, dynamic multi-agent domains, with intended applications in arenas such as education, training, entertainment, information integration, and collective robotics. Unfortunately, uncertainties in these complex, dynamic domains obst ..."

obstruct coherent teamwork. In particular, team members often encounter differing, incomplete, and possibly inconsistent views of their environment. Furthermore, team members can unexpectedly fail in fulfilling responsibilities or discover unexpected opportunities. Highly flexible coordination

ALLIANCE: An Architecture for Fault Tolerant Multi-Robot Cooperation

by Lynne E. Parker - IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation , 1998
"... ALLIANCE is a software architecture that fa- cilitates the fault tolerant cooperative control of teams of heterogeneous mobile robots performing missions composed of loosely coupled subtasks that may have ordering dependencies. ALLIANCE allows teams of robots, each of which possesses a variety of hi ..."
Abstract - Cited by 508 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
distributed, behavior-based architecture that incorporates the use of mathematically-modeled motivations (such as impatience and acquiescence) within each robot to achieve adaptive action selection. Since cooperative robotic teams usually work in dynamic and unpredictable environments, this software

The role of knowledge in discourse comprehension: A construction-integration model

by Walter Kintsch - Psychological Review , 1988
"... In contrast to expectation-based, predictive views of discourse comprehension, a model is developed in which the initial processing is strictly bottom-up. Word meanings are activated, propositions are formed, and inferences and elaborations are produced without regard to the discourse context. Howev ..."

EEGLAB: an open source toolbox for analysis of single-trial EEG dynamics including independent component analysis

by Arnaud Delorme, Scott Makeig - J. Neurosci. Methods
"... Abstract: We have developed a toolbox and graphic user interface, EEGLAB, running under the cross-platform MATLAB environment (The Mathworks, Inc.) for processing collections of single-trial and/or averaged EEG data of any number of channels. Available functions include EEG data, channel and event i ..."

An Evaluation Understudy for Dialogue Coherence Models

by Sudeep G, David Traum
"... Evaluating a dialogue system is seen as a major challenge within the dialogue research community. Due to the very nature of the task, most of the evaluation methods need a substantial amount of human involvement. Following the tradition in machine translation, summarization and discourse coherence m ..."

modeling, we introduce the the idea of evaluation understudy for dialogue coherence models. Following (Lapata, 2006), we use the information ordering task as a testbed for evaluating dialogue coherence models. This paper reports findings about the reliability of the information ordering task as applied
