Evaluating Combinations of Dialogue Acts for Generation
Simon Keizer, Harry Bunt · 2007
We will discuss an approach to dialogue act generation that reflects the multidimensionality of communication.Dialogue acts from different dimensions in the taxonomy used are generated in parallel, resulting in a buffer of candidates.The main focus of the paper will be on an additional process of evaluating these candidates, resulting in definitive combinations of dialogue acts to be generated.This evaluation process is required to deal with the interdependencies there still are between dimensions, and involves logical, strategic and pragmatic considerations.
