This paper describes the development of a rule-based computational model that describes how a feature-based representation of shared visual information combines with linguistic cu...
This paper discusses the basic structures necessary for the generation of reference to objects in a visual scene. We construct a study designed to elicit naturalistic referring ex...
A number of recent studies have demonstrated that groups benefit considerably from access to shared visual information. This is due, in part, to the communicative efficiencies pro...
We examine clarification dialogue, a mechanism for refining user questions with follow-up questions, in the context of open domain Question Answering systems. We develop an algori...
Abstract. We describe a probabilistic reference disambiguation mechanism developed for a spoken dialogue system mounted on an autonomous robotic agent. Our mechanism performs proba...
