ARGOT was the University of Rochester Computer Science department's first attempt to explore the mechanics of dialogue. Its focus was an in-depth examination of the direct and indirect intentions resulting from individual utterances, and how to understand them automatically.Here you can see one of our alumni, Alan Frisch, wearing the ARGOT T-shirt. It depicts a representation of the intentions resulting from the utterance "Could you mount a magtape for me?". In the background is our sign for TRAINS, the project that formed our later exploration of dialogue.
