Plan recognition in natural language dialogue

Аннотация

If computer systems are to attain their full potential as cooperative, helpful assistants in problem solving and decision making, then they must be able to communicate as effectively with humans as humans communicate with one another. For the most part, current natural language systems treat each query as an isolated request for information, with little use of the dialogue context within which the query occurs. This book addresses the problem of developing computational strategies for assimilating an ongoing dialogue and reasoning on the acquired knowledge to facilitate cooperative and effective interaction.
