Tacit Contracts for Wheelchairs
Daniel Couto Vale, Vivien Mast · 2013
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to infer dialogue acts using the notion of tacit contracts. We describe the interpersonal linguistic features that our analysis grammar can identify in uttered texts and present an inference procedure that strictly separates the semantic and pragmatic steps of utterance understanding, thereby meeting a higher degree of modularity, a prerequisite for extending robot functionality.
