Tell Me Everything You Know: A Conversation Update System for the Rational Speech Acts Framework
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The Rational Speech Acts (RSA) framework has been applied to an increasing number of linguistic phenomena. Despite its promise as a model of conversational reasoning, it has rarely been used to model more than a single conversation turn. I propose a system for conversation update in the RSA framework that allows iterative simulations of production and comprehension. I explore three key issues: how to simulate the Common Ground; how to update the Common Ground and participant belief states; and how to select observations.
