Title
Conversational action patterns in dialogs
Abstract
Systems that interact in dialogs need to understand linguistic actions being used by one another and know which linguistic actions are appropriate for their own uses. We introduce a model based on conversational action patterns to describe and predict speech acts in natural language dialogs and to specify appropriate actions to satisfy the system's goals. A modified production system was used to implement the formalism. The salient characteristics of the production system are:(1) Affects (emotions) can modify the interpretation of external events and alter the flow of control of the systems.(2) The system uses overlapping and parallel rules to predict and generate overlapping linguistic events in dialog situations.
