01 Jan 1995TL;DR: In this paper, commitment in dialogue basic concepts of interpersonal reasoning have been discussed and discussed in the context of interactive dialogues, and the authors propose a commitment-in-discriminative dialogue framework.
Abstract: Thank you very much for reading commitment in dialogue basic concepts of interpersonal reasoning. As you may know, people have look hundreds times for their favorite readings like this commitment in dialogue basic concepts of interpersonal reasoning, but end up in harmful downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some harmful virus inside their laptop.

01 Jan 2004TL;DR: This landmark text takes the central concepts of knowledge representation developed over the last 50 years and illustrates them in a lucid and compelling way, and offers the first true synthesis of the field in over a decade.
Abstract: Knowledge representation is at the very core of a radical idea for understanding intelligence. Instead of trying to understand or build brains from the bottom up, its goal is to understand and build intelligent behavior from the top down, putting the focus on what an agent needs to know in order to behave intelligently, how this knowledge can be represented symbolically, and how automated reasoning procedures can make this knowledge available as needed.
This landmark text takes the central concepts of knowledge representation developed over the last 50 years and illustrates them in a lucid and compelling way. Each of the various styles of representation is presented in a simple and intuitive form, and the basics of reasoning with that representation are explained in detail. This approach gives readers a solid foundation for understanding the more advanced work found in the research literature. The presentation is clear enough to be accessible to a broad audience, including researchers and practitioners in database management, information retrieval, and object-oriented systems as well as artificial intelligence. This book provides the foundation in knowledge representation and reasoning that every AI practitioner needs.

TL;DR: In this article, the TACITUS project at SRI developed an approach to abductive inference, called "weighted abduction" that has resulted in a significant simplification of how the problem of interpreting texts is conceptualized.

TL;DR: A simple logical framework for default reasoning by treating defaults as predefined possible hypotheses is presented, and it is shown how this idea subsumes the intuition behind Reiter's default logic.
