Presupposition Accommodation: A Plea for Common Sense - Beaver (Correct)

....# I would like to express my thanks to the organisers of the ITALLC conference, and to the anonymous referees of this paper. The paper extends work previously published as [Bea94c] The theory to be developed in this paper can be thought of as providing a formal characterization of what Lewis [Lew79] called accommodation. But the model will di#er markedly from existing proposals, in that most writers have taken accommodation to be a repair strategy, something that happens when the interpretation process goes wrong. Lewis seems to picture accommodation as a covert adjustment of what he calls ....

Understanding - Natural Language Instructions (Correct)

....concentrate on the relations between actions that they express, and on the inference processes that their interpretation requires. I see these inferences as instantiations of general accommodation processes necessary to interpret instructions, where the term accommodation is borrowed from (Lewis, 1979). I will conclude by describing the algorithm that implements the proposed inference processes. PURPOSE CLAUSES I am not the first one to analyze purpose clauses: however, they have received attention almost exclusively from a syntactic point of view see for example (Jones, 1985) ....

.... I have shown that the analysis of purpose clauses lends support to the proposal of using generation and enablement to model actions, and that the interpretation of purpose clauses originaWs specific inferences: I have illustrated two of them, that can be seen as examples of accommodation processes (Lewis, 1979), and that show how the hearer s inference processes are directed by the goal(s) s he is adopting. Future work includes fully developing the action representation formalism, and the algorithm, especially the part regarding computing assumptions. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For financial support I ....

Accommodating Context Change - Bonnie Lynn Webber (1992) (2 citations) (Correct)

....to be effective, we argue that it must be based on a representation of events that captures people s uncertainty about their outcome in particular, people s incomplete expectations about the changes effected by events. An understanding system can then use these expectations to accommodate [15] the particular changes that are mentioned in subsequent discourse (Section 3) In Section 4, we discuss our initial implementation of these ideas. This work is being carried out as part of a project (AnimNL) aimed at creating animated task simulations from Natural Language instructions [2; 4; 5; ....

....associating a variety of dif ferent results with the same action and Example 5, a variety of different inputs. To deal with this, we argue for 1. characterizing an agent s knowledge of an action in terms of partial constraints on its WSi and partial expectations about its WSo; 2. accommodating [15] definite NPs in subsequent utterances as instantiating either a partial constraint in WSi or a partial expectation in WSo. There appear to be three ways in which an agent s knowledge of an action s constraints and expecta tions may be partial, each of which manifests it self somewhat ....

Temporal Connectives in a Discourse Context - Alex Lascarides And (1993) (12 citations) (Correct)

.... an eventualtry that must be presupposed to have occurred, for the senfence as a whole to have a truth value (cf. Heinmki 1972; Kartunnen 1973) If the presupposed eventualtry is not already in the reader s model of the discourse context, she must add it: a process known as accommodation (cf. Lewis 1979). Our view is that the discourse behaviour of temporal connectives is to be explained as follows. In the discourse context where we are describing El, and have uttered (1) the way presuppositions are accommodated depends on the reader s background knowledge; our inappropriate discourses are ....

Menu2dialog - Larsson, Cooper, Ericsson (Correct)

....corresponding rule QUD update for updating the QUD when a question is asked, by pushing it on top of QUD. 3 Question and task accommodation On of the techniques we have investigated in GoDiS is a notion of accommodation based on an information update perspective on Lewis notion of accommodation [Lewis, 1979] . Dialogue participants can address questions that have not been explicitly raised in the dialogue. In such cases, coherence is preserved if the agent is able to find a question which is relevant at that point in the dialogue which can then be accommodated onto the QUD. The update rule for ....

Laconic discourses and total eclipses: abduction in DICE - Oberlander, Lascarides (Correct)

....in approximately the same way as after 7pm: as a temporal adverbial, locating, but not discourse relating to, the other eventuality. Secondly, if an interpreter H s desire to find a discourse relation is stronger than their desire to maintain a minimal set of beliefs, then they can, following Lewis (1979) change the score in the language game, by altering the context of interpretation. This is a different, more far reaching type kind of accommodation than the presupposition accommodation we described above. This is, in a sense, incoherence accommodation ; metaphorically, we must pull a new ....
