The Role of Computer-Computer Dialogues in Human-Computer Dialogue System Development
Curry I. Guinn · 1995
In this paper we argue that analysis of computer-computer dialogues is beneficial in the develop-meat and testing of computational models of human-computer collaboration. By outlining the stages in the development of a human-computer task-oriented system, we show the role that com-puter simulations can play in this process. Sim-ulations allow a measure of verification that the underlying model does indeed model the intended behavior. Further, through computer-computer simulation, thousands of dialogues can be gath-ered making statistical analysis of the computa-tional model feasible. Research Methodology
