An information-state approach to collaborative reference
David DeVault, Natalia Kariaeva, Anubha Kothari, Iris Oved, Matthew D. Stone · 2005
We describe a dialogue system that works with its interlocutor to identify objects. Our contributions include a concise, modular architecture with reversible processes of understanding and generation, an information-state model of reference, and flexible links between semantics and collaborative problem solving.
