An Evaluation of a Linguistically Motivated Conversational Software Agent Framework

A cracking paper from Dr Kulvinder Panesar of  York St John University on a design for a "Conversational Software Agent" (aka chatbot) which seems to have all the elements we've been championing for some time:

  • Grammatical parsing
  • Speech acts
  • Dialogue management
  • Triples based memory
  • BDI motivation model


You can read the paper Academia.edu, and the work dates back to at least 2017, so a few papers to catch up on!
