Planning text for advisory dialogues: capturing intentional and rhetorical information
Johanna D. Moore, Cécile L. Paris · Edinburgh Research Explorer (University of Edinburgh) · 1993
... this paper, we argue that, to handle explanation dialogues successfully, a discourse model must include information about the intended effect of individual parts of the text on the hearer, as well as how the parts relate to one another rhetorically. We present a text planner that records this information and show how the resulting structure is used to respond appropriately to a follow-up question.
