We review a platform and recent progress on developing computational methods for situated, multiparty, open-world dialog, and highlight the value of representations of the physical surroundings and of harnessing the broader situational context when managing communicative processes such as engagement, turn-taking, language understanding, and dialog management. Finally, we outline an open-world learning challenge that spans these different levels.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/challenges-opportunities-physically-situated-dialog/}, }
