A Model for Attention-Driven Judgements in Type Theory with Records

• This paper makes three contributions to the discussion on the applicability of Type Theory with Records (TTR) to embodied dialogue agents. First, it highlights the problem of type assignment or judgements in practical implementations which is re- source intensive. Second, it presents a judgement control mechanism, which con- sists of grouping of types into clusters or states by their thematic relations and selec- tion of types following two mechanisms inspired by the Load Theory of selective attention and cognitive control (Lavie et al., 2004), that addresses this problem. Third, it presents a computational frame- work, based on Bayesian inference, that offers a basis for future practical exper- imentation on the feasibility of the pro- posed approach.
