• Incremental Reasoning in Dialogue: PI: Christine Howes; with Ellen Breitholtz, Robin Cooper: VR 2016-0116

• This project addresses key issues in dialogue research. Using experimental, corpus and formal methods, we will study why-questions, and what happens when people disagree about the unspoken reasons underlying what they say. This is also relevant for AI systems such as artificial companions for the elderly.

• Dialogical Reasoning in Patients with Schizophrenia: PI: Ellen Breitholtz; with Christine Howes, Mary Lavelle, Robin Cooper. Riksbankens jubileumsfond, P16-0805:1

• It is well known that people with schizophrenia often reason in a way that is perceived as deviant. However, research in this area has mainly focused on individuals' problem solving abilities in reasoning tasks. Few studies have examined how people with schizophrenia reason and solve problems in an interactive context. This project aims to investigate how people with schizophrenia reason in dialogue, based on how they argue. Our research will hopefully not only contribute to the development of new treatments, but also the development of methods for dialogue modelling.
