Towards a Principled Representation of Discourse Plans
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 16th Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society, pp. 946 - 951, August, 1994
Abstract
We argue that discourse plans must capture the intended causal and decompositional relations between communicative actions. We present a planning algorithm, DPOCL, that builds plan structures that properly capture these relations, and show how these structures are used to solve the problems that plagued previous discourse planners, and allow a system to participate effectively and flexibly in an ongoing dialogue.
