Language/action perspective
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Language/Action Perspective (LAP) is based upon the notion as proposed by Terry Winograd that "expert behavior requires an exquisite sensitivity to context" [1] and that such sensitivity is more in the realm of the human than in that of the artificial. [2]
Insights from related work have been applied over the past two decades. At the LAP 2004 - Conference, Kalle Lyytinen discussed the academic/theoretic success of LAP. [3] Yet, these LAP successes have not found entry into the wider stream of applications. In a sense, LAP is now peripheral to computer science, however there may be a need for a deeper look at this viewpoint.
LAP did play a role in the AI Winter. It rests strongly on the work of John Searle.
