ARGOT: The Rochester Dialogue System

We are engaged in a long-term research project that has the ultimate aim of describing a mechanism that can partake in an extended English dialogue on some reasonably well specified range of topics. This paper is a progress report on the project, called ARGOT. It outlines the system and describes recent results as well as work in progress.
