A Spoken Dialogue System for Public Transport Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1995 our department was involved in two projects in the field of continuous speech recognition. The main aim of these two strongly related projects was the development of basic technology that can be used to build advanced telephone-based systems for providing information about public transport. A short description of the work carried out within these projects is provided in the present article.

متن کاملA Factored Discriminative Spoken Language Understanding for Spoken Dialogue Systems
This paper describes a factored discriminative spoken language understanding method suitable for real-time parsing of recognised speech. It is based on a set of logistic regression classifiers, which are used to map input utterances into dialogue acts. The proposed method is evaluated on a corpus of spoken utterances from the Public Transport Information (PTI) domain. In PTI, users can interact...

متن کاملSpoken Dialogue Interpretation with the DOP Model
We show how the DOP model can be used for fast and robust processing of spoken input in a practical spoken dialogue system called OVIS. OVIS, Openbaar Vervoer Informatie Systeem ("Public Transport Information System"), is a Dutch spoken language information system which operates over ordinary telephone lines. The prototype system is the immediate goal of the NWO 1 Priority Programme "Language a...
