Toward Givenness Hierarchy Theoretic Natural Language Generation

no code implementations17 Jul 2020 Poulomi Pal, Tom Williams

Language-capable interactive robots participating in dialogues with human interlocutors must be able to naturally and efficiently communicate about the entities in their environment.

Enabling Morally Sensitive Robotic Clarification Requests

no code implementations16 Jul 2020 Ryan Blake Jackson, Tom Williams

We implement our solution in the DIARC robot architecture, which, to our knowledge, is the only current robot architecture with both moral reasoning and clarification request generation capabilities.

Toward Forgetting-Sensitive Referring Expression Generationfor Integrated Robot Architectures

no code implementations16 Jul 2020 Tom Williams, Torin Johnson, Will Culpepper, Kellyn Larson

To engage in human-like dialogue, robots require the ability to describe the objects, locations, and people in their environment, a capability known as "Referring Expression Generation."

Givenness Hierarchy Theoretic Cognitive Status Filtering

no code implementations22 May 2020 Poulomi Pal, Lixiao Zhu, Andrea Golden-Lasher, Akshay Swaminathan, Tom Williams

We present and compare two such models of cognitive status: a rule-based Finite State Machine model directly informed by the GH literature and a Cognitive Status Filter designed to more flexibly handle uncertainty.

Quasi-Dilemmas for Artificial Moral Agents

no code implementations6 Jul 2018 Daniel Kasenberg, Vasanth Sarathy, Thomas Arnold, Matthias Scheutz, Tom Williams

In this paper we describe moral quasi-dilemmas (MQDs): situations similar to moral dilemmas, but in which an agent is unsure whether exploring the plan space or the world may reveal a course of action that satisfies all moral requirements.

Referring Expression Generation under Uncertainty: Algorithm and Evaluation Framework

no code implementations WS 2017 Tom Williams, Matthias Scheutz

For situated agents to effectively engage in natural-language interactions with humans, they must be able to refer to entities such as people, locations, and objects.
