Intuition as Instinctive Dialogue [chapter]

A multimodal dialogue system which answers user questions in natural speech presents one of the main achievements of contemporary interaction-based AI technology. To allow for an intuitive, multimodal, task-based dialogue, the following must be employed: more than explicit models of the discourse of the interaction, the available information material, the domain of interest, the task, and/or models of a user or user group. The fact that humans adapt their dialogue behaviour over time according

A concrete environment, where an intuition model extends a sensory-based modelling of instincts can be used and should help us to assess the significance of intuition in multimodal dialogue. We will explain the relevant concepts and references for self-study and offer a specific starting point of thinking about intuition as a recommendation to implement complex interaction systems with intuitive capabilities. We hope this chapter proposes avenues for future research to formalise the concept of intuition in technical albeit human-centred AI systems. Interaction technology and HCIs are extremely popular. However, the technology is still in a stage of infancy, especially when it comes to the dialogue
