Meeting Description:

Symposium on Dialogue Modelling and Generation
http://lubitsch.lili.uni-bielefeld.de/DMG

Vrije Universiteit
Amsterdam, Netherlands
July 6, 2005

to be held as part of the annual meeting of the Society for Text &
Discourse (ST&D) July 6-9, 2005 as announced at
http://www.let.vu.nl/conference/std2005/

This symposium is intended to tackle issues in the semantics and pragmatics
of dialogue and dialogue generation. It aims at bringing together those
from the dialogue modelling and language generation/production communities
and will provide an opportunity for researchers from a variety of
disciplines, including linguistics, computer science and psycholinguistics,
to exchange ideas.

We invite talks elaborating on important theoretical notions in dialogue
modelling -such as constraints (Asher & Lascarides, 2003, and many other
recent papers), the role of domain knowledge (e.g., Ludwig, 2003, and,
again, many more) and the influence of social relations between
interlocutors on dialogue behaviour (going back to the seminal work by
Brown and Levinson, 1978)- and ask presenters to shed light on these or
other theoretically fruitful notions in dialogue modelling by:

- relating them to issues in language generation/production or
- drawing out similarities and differences between applications of such
notions in discourse generation versus interpretation or
- describing computational/implemented models, in particular, for
generation/production or
- comparing psycholinguistic with linguistic or engineering approaches to
dialogue modelling.

The symposium will thus be a natural complement to ones that deal with NL
interpretation or structural properties of discourse.

Participants have to register for the main meeting
