The study of conversational implicatures, and how they can be modelled computationally in a dialogue system is the subject of my research; which crucially involves the characterisation of the context-representation and means-ends reasoning tasks involved. In other words, my research interests lie in the area of Computational Pragmatics.onversational implicatures, and how they can be modelled computationally in a dialogue system is the subject of my research; which crucially involves the characterisation of the context-representation and means-ends reasoning tasks involved.
