Abstract

A version of Brennan and Clark’s conceptual pact model can be applied to referring expressions with some success to the Pentomino puzzle building domain where an instructor gives instructions to build puzzles from a simple set of 12 puzzle pieces. We discuss how such a model could be scaled up to a...

description A version of Brennan and Clark’s conceptual pact model can be applied to referring expressions with some success to the Pentomino puzzle building domain where an instructor gives instructions to build puzzles from a simple set of 12 puzzle pieces. We discuss how such a model could be scaled up to a much more complex domain in the game of Minecraft, outlining the key differences between the two domains and a plan for scaling up the models with language models.
