Abstract

Inspired by computational linguistic approaches to annotate the structures that occur in human dialogue, this paper describes a technique which encodes these structures as transformations applied to a protocol language. Agents can have a controlled mechanism to synthesise and communicate their interaction protocol during their participation in a multiagent system. This is in contrast to the approaches where agents must subscribe to a fixed protocol and relinquish control over an interaction that may not satisfy the agent's dialogical needs.

Abstract
To design a dialogue well and easily implement it into an autonomous dialogue system, a dialogue with simple components in which interaction with the partners is smoothly achieved is required. In designing interactions to use in an autonomous ...

We are investigating human-human dialogues in the Estonian dialogue corpus with the further aim to develop a dialogue system which carries out negotiations with a user in a natural language. Two sub-corpora are analysed and compared: (1) MSN ...
Eyebrow raises in dialogue and their relation to discourse structure, utterance function and pitch accents in English

Face-to-face interaction involves both verbal and non-verbal communication. Studies have suggested a relationship between eyebrow raises and the verbal message, but our knowledge is still limited. If we could characterise a relation between eyebrow ...
