An Information State Approach to Collaborative Reference

Explore an in-depth lecture on collaborative reference using an information state approach, presented by Matthew Stone at the Center for Language & Speech Processing (CLSP) at Johns Hopkins University. Delve into the complexities of how humans collaborate to establish shared references in communication, and discover how this process can be modeled using information state frameworks. Gain insights into the theoretical foundations and practical applications of this approach in natural language processing and dialogue systems. Over the course of 88 minutes, examine key concepts, methodologies, and research findings that contribute to our understanding of collaborative reference in human-computer interaction and linguistics.
