A ventriloquism perspective on Natural Language Processing
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Natural language interfaces and, in general, Natural Language Processing (NLP) state of the art applications cannot handle satisfactory (if they can at all) conversational implicatures, illocutionary force, stylization, parody, inner disguised polemic, disguised dialogue and other similar phenomena. Considering the ventriloquism perspective in the context of the dialogic-polyphonic theories of Mikhael Bakhtin may provide a basis on trying to cope with such phenomena. The paper introduces some basic ideas of Bakhtin related to ventriloquism in an extended sense, discusses the approaches based on ventriloquism in other domains than NLP, then it analyzes several NLP applications from the perspective of this concept. Several ideas on how the analysis of ventriloquism might be done in NLP are introduced.
