Abstract: This paper is an attempt to introduce a notion of dialogue among different agents, e.g. a user or situation descriptor and an information provider or machine, to better understand a user’s need of information. When a user describes a concept through some keywords first the system needs to choose the relevant attributes for initiating the search. Regarding this, a series of dialogues may help the system to better understand the user’s language of expresssion. After fixing the relevant attributes, the system needs to look at its repertoire of positive and negative cases of different concepts characterized with respect to this set of attributes. Then through a step-by-step process of matching and comparing similarity of user’s described situation with those positive and negative cases of a concept, incorporating several layers of dialogue, the system may provide information closer to the user’s need. The target of this paper is to develop a theoretical model, incorporating the above features, for characterizing one’s concern of concept based on dialogue and similarity based reasoning.
