| Challenge: | In dialogue modeling, there is considerable attention on “dialogue state tracking” (DST) but “common ground tracking” identifies the shared belief space held by all participants in a task-oriented dialogue: the task-relevant propositions all participants accept as true. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for automatically identifying the current set of shared beliefs and ”questions under discussion” of a group with a shared goal. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method predicts moves toward building common ground relative to ground truth in a multimodal interaction with an AI. |
