Goal-oriented Dialog as a Collaborative Subordinated Activity involving Collective Acceptance

International audienceModeling dialog as a collaborative activity consists notably in specifying the content of the Conversational Common Ground and the kind of social mental state involved. In previous work (Saget, 2006), we claim that Collective Acceptance is the proper social attitude for modeling Conversational Common Ground in the particular case of goal-oriented dialog. In this paper, a formalization of Collective Acceptance is shown, besides elements in order to integrate this attitude in a rational model of dialog are provided; and finally, a model of referential acts as being part of a collaborative activity is presented. The particular case of reference has been chosen in order to exemplify our claims

Collaborative model of interaction and Unmanned Vehicle Systems' interface

The interface for the next generation of Unmanned Vehicle Systems should be an interface with multi-modal displays and input controls. Then, the role of the interface will not be restricted to be a support of the interactions between the ground operator and vehicles. Interface must take part in the interaction management too. In this paper, we show that recent works in pragmatics and philosophy provide a suitable theoretical framework for the next generation of UV System's interface. We concentrate on two main aspects of the collaborative model of interaction based on acceptance: multi-strategy approach for communicative act generation and interpretation and communicative alignment

Doit-on dire la vérité pour se comprendre ? Principes d'un modèle collaboratif du dialogue basé sur la notion d'acceptation

Garrod et Pickering ([16]) prétendent que l'étude fine de la nature collaborative du dialogue doit mener à lever ou à modifier un ensemble d'hypothèses fondamentales qui sont sources de complexité pour les modèles de dialogue. Dans des travaux précédents, il a été proposé que l'une de ces hypothèses est la sincérité des partenaires de dialogue ([35, 37]). Le traitement des énoncés, plus précisément des références, y est ainsi vu comme un processus orienté par un but. L'objet de cet article est de présenter les principes d'un modèle collaboratif du dialogue basé sur une attitude mentale dépendante du contexte : l'acceptation. Garrod and Pickering ([16]) claim that considering spoken dialogue as a collaborative activity must lead to avoid or to modify the fundamental hypothesis which are responsible for complexity limitations of existing spoken dialogue systems. In previous works, we argue that one of these hypothesis is the sincerity of dialogue partners ([35, 37]). Utterance treatment, more precisely reference treatment, is then viewed as a goal-oriented process. The aim of this article is to present the principles of a collaborative model of dialogue based on a context-dependant mental attitude : acceptance

Supervision of autonomous vehicles: mutual modeling and interaction management

International audienceAs the capabilities of Unmanned Vehicle Systems increase, the tasks of their operators become more and more complex and diverse. Accordingly, the interfaces of these UVSs must become smarter in order to support these tasks and assist the operator. In this paper, we discuss how an operator Support System can leverage dynamic interaction strategies to modulate the workload of the operator and how it could impact trust in automation
