Cooperative Response Generation in Dialogue

Ivana Kruijff-Korbayová

Formal Matters

Each student gives a talk and writes a paper on an assigned topic. Each week, every student (other than the presenter) has to read an assigned paper, and send in a question. See details below.

Questions

Every week by Monday midnight, every student (other than the presenter) has to submit a question concerning the topic of the week's session, based on the read paper(s). Please submit to the mailing list (so that everyone can see the questions).
The presenter tries to respond to the questions during their talk if they can. Otherwise, we'll pick the questions up in the general discussion.
