Multi-layer Dialogue Management

Abstract:

In this talk, I will present a multiple layer approach towards modelling and managing the complexities of multi-party task-oriented interaction, including who is accessible for conversation, paying attention, involved in a conversation, as well as turn-taking, initiative, grounding, and higher-level dialogue functions. The method will follow that used in the Trindi project, where one specifies an information state, and "dialogue moves" representing input and output, as well as associated updates to information state. This approach has been implemented as part of the Mission Rehearsal Exercise Project at USC's institute for Creative Technologies (ICT).
