note = "Funding Information: Preparation of this tutorial was supported in part by the DATA-INSPIRE Institute at Rutgers http://robotics.cs.rutgers.edu/ data-inspire/ under NSF HDR TRIPODS award CCF-1934924. We gratefully acknowledge the effort of Professor Verena Rieser of Heriot-Watt University, who discussed the tutorial with us extensively but was ultimately unable to participate due to the disruption of COVID-19. Funding Information: Malihe Alikhani is a 5th year Ph.D. student in the department of Computer sSience at Rut-gers University ma1195@cs.rutgers.edu, advised by Prof. Matthew Stone. She is pursuing a certificate in cognitive science through the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science and holds a BA and MA in Mathematics. Her research aims at teaching machines to understand and generate multimodal communication. She is the recipient of the fellowship award for excellence in computation and data sciences from Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute in 2018 and the Anita Berg student fellowship in 2019. Before joining Rutgers, she was a lecturer and an adjunct professor of Mathematics and Statistics for a year at San Diego State University and San Diego Mesa College. She has served as the program committee of ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, AAAI, ICRL, ICMI, and INLG and is currently the associate editor of the Mental Note Journal. email: ma1195@cs.rutgers.edu, webpage: www.malihealikhani.com Matthew Stone is professor and chair in the Department of Computer Science at Rutgers University; he holds a joint appointment in the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science. His research focuses on discourse, dialogue and natural language generation; he is particularly interested in leveraging semantics to make interactive systems easier to build and more human-like in their behavior. He was program co-chair for NAACL 2007, general co-chair for SIGDIAL 2014. He has also served as program co-chair for INLG and IWCS, as an information officer for SIGSEM, and on the editorial board for Computational Linguistics. email: mdstone@cs.rutgers.edu, website: www.cs.rutgers.edu/˜mdstone/; 58th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, ACL 2020 ; Conference date: 05-07-2020 Through 10-07-2020",
