Semantic filtering by inference on domain knowledge in spoken dialogue systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
General natural dialogue processing requires large amounts of domain knowledge as well as linguistic knowledge in order to ensure acceptable coverage and understanding. There are several ways of integrating lexical resources (e.g. dictionaries, thesauri) and knowledge bases or ontologies at different levels of dialogue processing. We concentrate in this paper on how to exploit domain knowledge for filtering interpretation hypotheses generated by a robust semantic parser. We use domain knowledge to semantically constrain the hypothesis space. Moreover, adding an inference mechanism allows us to complete the interpretation when information is not explicitly available. Further, we discuss briefly how this can be generalized towards a predictive natural interactive system.

Generating Utterances in Dialogue Systems
This paper describes the language output component of the Sundial spoken dialogue system. Following a dialogue planning decision to produce an utterance, an utterance planning component derives a semantic description drawing on a model of speakers' knowledge of the domain. This semantic description is linguistically real-ised by a generation component which draws on a bi-directional lexicon-gra...
متن کاملUse of Semantic Similarity and Web Usage Mining to Alleviate the Drawbacks of User-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems
One of the most famous methods for recommendation is user-based Collaborative Filtering (CF). This system compares active user’s items rating with historical rating records of other users to find similar users and recommending items which seems interesting to these similar users and have not been rated by the active user. As a way of computing recommendations, the ultimate goal of the user-ba...
متن کاملRapid transition to new spoken dialogue domains: language model training using knowledge from previous domain applications and web text resources
In generic automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, typically, language models (LMs) are trained to work within a broad range of input conditions. ASR systems used in domainspecific spoken dialogue systems (SDSs) are more constrained in terms of content and style. A mismatch in content and/or style between training and operating conditions results in performance degradation for the dialogue ...
متن کاملJointly Modeling Inter-Slot Relations by Random Walk on Knowledge Graphs for Unsupervised Spoken Language Understanding
A key challenge of designing coherent semantic ontology for spoken language understanding is to consider inter-slot relations. In practice, however, it is difficult for domain experts and professional annotators to define a coherent slot set, while considering various lexical, syntactic, and semantic dependencies. In this paper, we exploit the typed syntactic dependency theory for unsupervised ...
متن کاملTopics and Spoken Language Recognition
This paper concerns the use of discourse information in spoken dialogue systems, and argues that knowledge of the domain, modelled with the help of topic trees, is important in improving the recognition accuracy of spoken utterances. The use of discourse information in spoken language systems is usually motivated by arguments concerning the system's robustness: (1) support for speech recognitio...
