1 I1-[OntoSpace] Ontologies for Spatial Communication John Bateman, Kerstin Fischer, Reinhard Moratz Scott Farrar, Thora Tenbrink

2 2 I1-[OntoSpace] user Rolland Pioneer Provision of natural dialogic interaction concerning user tasks in a spatial context presentation of spatial information communication of spatially-situated actions Focusing on RE-USABILITY of components and EXTENSIBILITY of approach producing NON-TASK SPECIFIC solutions Motivation

3 3 I1-[OntoSpace] Difficulties different perceptual systems of human and robot: necessity of mediation discourse situation influences linguistic choices determining factors as yet unknown

4 4 I1-[OntoSpace] Two problem areas for investigation Complexity of negotiating spatial relations Variability of reference systems Discoursal negotiation processes Situational factors Unfamiliarity of interaction situation Communication with an artificial interlocutor Choice of linguistic expressions No knowledge about robot‘s functionalities

5 5 I1-[OntoSpace] Reference systems Intrinsic: Localisation of object by reference to the intrinsic properties of another entity, e.g. speaker‘s front: “The ball is in front of me” Relative: Presence of relatum required: “The ball is in front of the table” Group-based reference if one of several similar objects is referred to: “The leftmost ball” Absolute: the earth‘s cardinal directions (north, south)

6 6 I1-[OntoSpace] Perspectives Speaker-centered: Intrinsic: “The ball is in front of me” Relative: “From my point of view, the ball is to the right of the table” Absolute: “to the north of me” Listener-centered: Intrinsic: “The ball is in front of you” Relative: “From your point of view, the ball is to the right of the table” Absolute: “to the north of you”

7 7 I1-[OntoSpace] Our approach Elicitation of data in experimental settings analysis of linguistic choices in relation to situational parameters (spatial settings and tasks; robot appearance and behavior) Integration in a single functioning system modeling of dialogue mechanisms achieving flexibility of interpretation by modularity Ontology mapping Flexibility of mapping mechanisms required: the discourse model informs how the domain model concept is to be subordinated in a given context

8 8 I1-[OntoSpace] user Empirical Investigation linguistic negotiation alignment, shaping, grounding conceptualization of spatial agents register, conceptualization, shaping spatial configurations group-based, routes and landmarks, consistency and frames

12 12 I1-[OntoSpace] analysis component dialog m a n a g e r generation component Architectural overview (I1/I3) conceptual linguistic frame of reference linguistic tasks non-linguistic tasks

13 13 I1-[OntoSpace] Inter-ontology mediation: Close relationship but not identity conceptual linguistic frame of reference linguistic tasks non-linguistic tasks

14 14 I1-[OntoSpace] SPATIAL REPRESENTATIONSLINGUISTIC REPRESENTATIONS Solution method pursued Achieving interaction between system modules using ONTOLOGIES DOMAINS ONTOLOGIES inter-ontology mediation

16 16 I1-[OntoSpace] I1: Targetted results development of a comprehensive spatial ontology development of linguistic ontology for handling linguistic tasks representation of all ontologies in OWL and CASL specifications specification of principles and methods for inter-ontology mappings specification of discourse-history and robot- conceptualisation conditionalistions of the mappings

17 17 I1-[OntoSpace] Interest areas spatial ontology linguistic ontology ontology formalisation dialogic linguistic HRI contextual conditioning of linguistic interaction and linguistic form

18 18 I1-[OntoSpace] Distribution of labour with respect to dialog functionality Human Language Technology Computational Dialogue Components Empirical investigation of dialogue properties Development of spatial and linguistic ontologies I3-[SharC] I1-[OntoSpace] Ontology specification and processing I4-[SPIN]
