Abstract

The Interactive Discourse Planner (IDP) is designed to describe and justify domain plans interactively. The text plan that IDP incrementally formulates and executes is represented uniformly in the same knowledge base with the domain plans that are under discussion. In this way, the text plan and the domain plans are both accessible for analyzing the user´s feedback. IDP can interpret vaguely articulated feedback, generate concise replies and metacomments, and detect when the user´s feedback initiates a digression. As a testbed for my model, I am implementing IDP to interactively give driving directions and route advice
