She is attempting to identify the basic structures andprocesses by which people use languages to communicate information andis developing mechanisms to enable computer systems to communicatefluently with users in natural languages (e.g., English, Spanish,Japanese). More generally, Professor Grosz hopes to improvehuman-computer communication by utilizing techniques that combinespeech, graphics, and other modalities. Her current work encompasses:computational theories of discourse and discourse processing,computational models of collaborative planning, investigations of theinteractions between intonation and discourse, and the development ofcollaborative, multimedia systems for human-computercommunication.</P><P>Professor Grosz has developed a theory of discourse structure thatspecifies how discourse interpretation depends on interactions amongspeaker intentions, attentional state, and linguistic form. Thistheory has been used to explain such phenomena as interruptions, theuse of cue phrases, and the interpretation of referringexpressions. With colleagues at AT&T Bell Laboratories, she isusing the theory to study the information about discourse structureconveyed by intonation, i.e., how tones demark, in spoken language,some of the structure that paragraphs and parentheses indicate inwritten language. Applications of this work should lead to bettercomputer speech-synthesis systems. In addition, Professor Grosz isalso involved in an interdisciplinary investigation of the connectionsbetween centering of attention and form of reference.</P><P>Professor Grosz is also working on a theory of collaboration tosupport the construction of intelligent computer "agents" that worktogether in teams. This theory also provides a basis for modeling theintentional component of discourse structure.</P><H2>Recent Publications</H2><UL><LI><P>Barbara Grosz and Sarit Kraus. 1996.
