A multi-level decision-analytic approach to failure and repair within computer-user communications is disclosed. In one embodiment, a computerized system for repairing communication failure within a computer-user interaction context includes a maintenance module, an intention module, and a conversation control subsystem. The maintenance module manages uncertainty regarding signal identification and channel fidelity. The intention module is supported by the maintenance module, and manages uncertainty about the recognition of user's goals from signals. The conversation control subsystem surrounds both the modules, and manages the joint activity between the computer and the user, and one or more high-level events regarding the joint activity. |
