Dialogue in natural language is the most important communication method for the visually impaired. Therefore, the dialogue system is the main subsystem in the visually impaired navigation system. The purpose of the dialogue system is to understand the user’s intention, gradually establish context through multiple conversations, and finally provide an accurate destination for the navigation system. We use the knowledge graph as the basis of reasoning in the dialogue system, and then update the knowledge graph so that the system gradually conforms to the user’s background. Based on the experience of using the knowledge graph in the navigation system of the visually impaired, we expect that the same framework can be applied to more fields in order to improve the practicality of natural language dialogue in human–computer interaction.

This paper investigates the kind of sign making that goes on in text-based human–computer interaction, between human users and chatbots, from the point of view of integrational linguistics. A chatbot serves as a “conversational” user interface, allowing users to control computer programs in “natural language”. From the user’s perspective, the interaction is a case of semiologically integrated activity, but even if the textual traces of a chat may look like a written conversation between two humans the correspondence is not one-to-one. It is argued that chatbots cannot engage in communication processes, although they may display communicative behaviour. They presuppose a (second-order) language model, they can only communicate at the level of sentences, not utterances, and they implement communicational sequels by selecting from an inventory of executable skills. Instead of seeing them as interlocutors in silico, chatbots should be seen as powerful devices for humans to make signs with.

Computer Interaction

Many of the issues that confront designers of interactive computer systems also appear in natural language evolution. Natural languages and human-computer interfaces share as their primary mission the support of extended ''dialogues'' between responsive entities. Because in each case one participant is a human being, some of the pressures operating on natural languages, causing them to evolve in order to better support such dialogue, also operate on human-computer ''languages'' or interfaces. This does not necessarily push interfaces in the direction of natural language - since one entity in this dialogue is not a human, this is not to be expected. Nonetheless, by discerning where the pressures that guide natural language evolution also appear in human-computer interaction, we can contribute to the design of computer systems and obtain a new perspective on natural languages.
