These are the proceedings of the third Linguistic and Cognitive Approaches to
Dialog Agents (LaCATODA 2017), which was held on August 21, 2017 in
Melbourne, Australia. The workshop was a part of the 26th International Joint
Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2017). Eight papers were submitted
to the workshop of which six was accepted to be presented during the workshop.
The submissions were reviewed by three (at least two) members of the program
committee. In addition, the workshop also had a fascinating invited talk titled
“Experimental Semiotics and Representation by Dialogue Systems“ given by T.
Mark Ellison from Australian National University.
This workshop is the third edition of the LaCATODA series. The two first
editions were organized as symposia of the AISB/IACAP conferences in United
Kingdom: the first one in 2010 in Leicester, and the second one in Birmingham.
The third edition was co-located with the famous IJCAI conference in
Melbourne, 2017. We would like to thank all authors who submitted papers, and
the program committee members for their efforts.
