TENTH WORKSHOP ON THE SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS OF DIALOGUE (SEMDIAL)
Potsdam, Germany
September 11-13 2006
brandial06 will be the tenth in a series of workshops that aims to bring together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of dialogues in fields such as artificial intelligence, formal semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. The SemDial conferences are always stimulating and fun, and Potsdam/Berlin is a great place to visit.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
- James Allen (University of Rochester, USA)
- Elisabeth Andre (University of Augsburg, Germany)
- Emanuel Schegloff (University of California LA, USA)
(more tbc.)
SUBMISSIONS:
We invite papers on all topics related to the semantics and pragmatics of dialogues, including, but not limited to:
- models of common ground/mutual belief in communication
- modelling agents' information states and how they get updated
- multi-agent models and turn-taking
- goals, intentions and commitments in communication
- semantic interpretation in dialogues
- reference in dialogues
- ellipsis resolution in dialogues
- dialogue and discourse structure
- interpretation of questions and answers
- nonlinguistic interaction in communication
- natural language understanding and reasoning in spoken dialogue systems
- multimodal dialogue systems
- dialogue management in practical implementations
- categorisation of dialogue moves or speech acts in corpora
- designing and evaluating dialogue systems
For the first time, we will have a special session (one afternoon), on --Visual Attention and References to the Visual Situation -- separately reviewed (committee TBA) and chaired by Massimo Poesio and Hannes Rieser. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): linguistic and philosophical studies of deixis; eye-tracking studies of reference resolution in situated language use; and computational models of deictic references and reference interpretation. As always, especially encouraged are interdisciplinary submissions, e.g., providing a sound theoretical analysis based on solid empirical evidence.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Authors should submit an *anonymous* paper of at most 8 pages (for talks with a duration of 25' plus 10' discussion) via the web-site (please indicate if you are submitting for the special session). For the accepted talks, a LaTeX style will be made available for the preparation of the final version.
