Towards Overcoming Miscommunication in Situated Dialogue by Asking Questions
Matthew Marge, Alexander I. Rudnicky · Intelligent Agents · 2011
Situated dialogue is prominent in the robot navigation task, where a human gives route instructions (i.e., a sequence of navigation commands) to an agent. We propose an approach for situated dialogue agents whereby they use strategies such as asking questions to repair or recover from unclear instructions, namely those that an agent misunderstands or considers ambiguous. Most immediately in this work we study examples from existing human-human dialogue corpora and relate them to our proposed approach.
