Abstract
In goal-oriented or task-oriented conversations, the participants have to share many things to achieve collaboration. The ideas of common ground, shared knowledge, and similar concepts are important to understand the process of achievement. In this study, to model guide–tourist dialogues considering such grounding process, we proposed the idea of extended grounding networks by introducing the concept of contribution topics and applied it to different data collected from dialogues between a human guide and tourists.
