Conference Proceeding
WELLS, S. and SNAITH, M. 2023. On the role of dialogue models in the age of large language models. In Grasso, F., Green, N.L., Schneider, J. and Wells, S. (eds.) Proceedings of the 23rd Workshop on computational models of natural argument (CMNA 2023), 3 December 2023, [virtual event]. CEUR workshop proceedings, 3614. Aachen: CEUR-WS [online], pages 49-51. Available from: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3614/abstract2.pdf

We argue that Machine learning, in particular the currently prevalent generation of Large Language Models (LLMs), can work constructively with existing normative models of dialogue as exemplified by dialogue games, specifically their computational ap...

Reconsidering RepStat rules in dialectic games. (2022)
Conference Proceeding
WELLS, S. and SNAITH, M. 2022. Reconsidering RepStat rules in dialectical games. In Grasso, F., Green, N.L., Schneider, J. and Wells, S. (eds.) Proceedings of the 22nd Workshop on computational models of natural argument (CMNA 2022), 12 September 2022, Cardiff, UK. CEUR workshop proceedings, 3205. Aachen: CEUR-WS [online], pages 18-28. Available from: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3205/paper3.pdf

Prohibition of repeated statements has benefits for the tractability and predictability of dialogues carried out by machines, but doesn't match the real world behaviour of people. This gap between human and machine behaviour leads to problems when fo... Read More about Reconsidering RepStat rules in dialectic games..

Agents United: an open platform for multi-agent conversational systems. (2021)
Conference Proceeding
BEINEMA, T., DAVISON, D., REIDSMA, D. et al. 2021. Agents United: an open platform for multi-agent conversational systems. In Proceedings of 21st ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Intelligent virtual agents international conference 2021 (IVA '21), 14-17 September 2021, [virtual conference]. New York: ACM [online], pages 17-24. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1145/3472306.3478352

The development of applications with intelligent virtual agents (IVA) often comes with integration of multiple complex components. In this article we present the Agents United Platform: an open source platform that researchers and developers can use...

Towards a declarative approach to constructing dialogue games. (2021)
Conference Proceeding
SNAITH, M. and WELLS, S. 2021. Towards a declarative approach to constructing dialogue games. In Grasso, F., Green, N.L., Schneider, J. and Wells, S. (eds.) Proceedings of the 21st Workshop on computational models on natural argument (CMNA 2021), 2-3 September 2021, [virtual conference]. CEUR workshop proceedings, 2937. Aachen: CEUR-WS [online], pages 9-18. Available from: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2937/paper2.pdf

In this paper we sketch a new approach to the development of dialogue games that builds upon the knowledge gained from several decades of dialogue game research across a variety of communities and which leverages the capabilities of the Dialogue Game...
