    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In cooperative information-seeking environments, we have observed that the dialogues have the following characteristics: (1) they contain sufficient relevant information, (2) they are coherent, and (3) they are well-structured. In this paper, we describe a mechanism for plan inference which takes advantage of these observed features to reduce the number of alternate interpretations of a user's statements. This reduction is achieved as follows: initially, we take advantage of the relevant information trait by using guiding principles and meta predicates to constrain the number of possible interpretations of a single statement. Discourse coherence considerations are then applied to integrate subsequent statements and drop incoherent interpretations. The retained interpretations are evaluated using a measure of information content, which is used to prefer the interpretations that have more relevant information. The entire mechanism is based on an approach that takes advantage of the well-structured nature of information-seeking dialogues to arrive at the intended interpretation as efficiently as possible.",
