Optimization of Dialog Strategies using Automatic Dialog Simulation and Statistical Dialog Management Techniques

In this paper, we present a technique for learning optimal dialog management strategies. An automatic dialog generation technique, including a simulation of the communication channel, has been developed to acquire the required data, train dialog models, and explore new dialog strategies in order to learn the optimal one. A set of quantitative and qualitative measures has been defined to evaluat...

Automatic detection of task-incompleted dialog for spoken dialog system based on dialog act n-gram

We collected a large amount of spoken dialog data accompanied by usability evaluation scores by users in real environments. The database was made by a field test in which naive users used a client-server music retrieval system with a spoken dialog interface...
