    <Paragraph position="0"> Sandra Carberry Modeling the User's Plans and Goals relevance, often enables the system to deduce the information-seeker's intended meaning, thereby allowing the dialog to continue without interruption.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> However, the assumptions underlying current plan inference systems are unrealistic and must be removed.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> We contend that a natural language system must be able to detect and recover from discrepancies between the system's context model and the actual plan under construction by the user, and have suggested that handling disparate plans requires an enriched context model that differentiates among its components according to the support it accords each component as a correct and intended part of the information-seeker's plan.</Paragraph>
