Inter-annotator agreement using the Conversation Analysis Modelling Schema, for dialogue (2022)
Journal Article
Duran, N., Battle, S., & Smith, J. (2022). Inter-annotator agreement using the Conversation Analysis Modelling Schema, for dialogue. Communication Methods and Measures, 16(3), 182-214. https://doi.org/10.1080/19312458.2021.2020229

We present the Conversation Analysis Modeling Schema (CAMS), a novel dialogue labeling schema that combines the Conversation Analysis concept of Adjacency Pairs, with Dialogue Acts. The aim is to capture both the semantic and syntactic structure of d... Read More about Inter-annotator agreement using the Conversation Analysis Modelling Schema, for dialogue.

Sentence encoding for dialogue act classification (2021)
Journal Article
Duran, N., Battle, S., & Smith, J. (2023). Sentence encoding for dialogue act classification. Natural Language Engineering, 29(3), 794-823. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1351324921000310

In this study, we investigate the process of generating single-sentence representations for the purpose of Dialogue Act (DA) classification, including several aspects of text pre-processing and input representation which are often overlooked or under...

The natural connectivity of autonomous systems (2020)
Journal Article
Battle, S. (2020). The natural connectivity of autonomous systems. Rivista Italiana di Filosofia del Linguaggio, 14(2), 1-16. https://doi.org/10.4396/AISB201901

The principle of biological autonomy, introduced by Francisco J. Varela, addresses the dilemma of Cartesian mind-body dualism by re-casting mind and body, or subject and object, observer and observed, not as irreconcilable categories, but as compleme...

A modal logic analysis of a line-following robot (2018)
Journal Article
Battle, S., & Thompson, M. (2018). A modal logic analysis of a line-following robot. Communications in Computer and Information Science, 732, 42-55. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-90418-4_4

© Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018. The behaviour of a reactive, line-following robot is analysed using modal logic. This provides an approach that is complementary to numerical simulation, allowing us to explore the... Read More about A modal logic analysis of a line-following robot.
