Towards a Principled Representation of Discourse Plans

R. Michael Young, Johanna D. Moore, Martha E. Pollack

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract / Description of output

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.
