Implicatures

Implicatures refer to the information conveyed by a speaker implicitly through an utterance but not explicitly expressed in natural language processing. The goal is to infer the implied meaning behind the words by analyzing the context and situation, thereby achieving a more accurate understanding of the communicative intent. The application value of implicatures lies in enhancing the intelligence level of machine dialogue systems, improving the naturalness and fluency of human-computer interaction, and playing a significant role in semantic understanding and reasoning.
