Spoken Language Understanding for Natural Interaction
نویسنده
چکیده
Natural language interaction has the potential to considerably enhance user experience, especially in mobile devices like smartphones and electronic tablets. Recent advances in software integration and efforts toward more personalization and context awareness have brought closer the long-standing vision of the ubiquitous intelligent personal assistant. Multiple voice-driven initiatives by a number of well-known companies have now reached commercial deployment. In this talk, I will review the two major semantic interpretation frameworks underpinning virtual personal assistance, and reflect on the inherent complementarity in their respective advantages and drawbacks. I will then discuss some of the attendant choices made in the practical deployment of such systems, and speculate on their likely evolution going forward.

متن کاملA stochastic model of computer-human interaction for learning dialogue strategies
Recent progress in the eld of spoken natural language understanding expanded the scope of spoken language systems to include mixed initiative dialogue. Currently there are no agreed upon theoretical foundations for the design of such systems. In this work we propose a stochastic model of computer-human interactions. This model can be used for learning and adaptation of the dialogue strategy and...
متن کاملA Simulation-based Framework for Spoken Language Understanding and Action Selection in Situated Interaction
This paper introduces a simulation-based framework for performing action selection and understanding for interactive agents. By simulating the objects and actions relevant to an interaction, an agent can semantically ground natural language and interact considerately and on its own initiative in situated environments. The framework proposed in this paper leverages models of the environment, use...
متن کاملDesigning a spoken language interface for a tutorial dialogue system
We describe our work in building a spoken language interface for a tutorial dialogue system. Our goal is to allow natural, unrestricted student interaction with the computer tutor, which has been shown to improve the student’s learning gain, but presents challenges for speech recognition and spoken language understanding. We discuss the choice of system components and present the results of dev...
متن کاملA tutorial dialogue system with unrestricted spoken input
We present our work in building a spoken language interface for a tutorial dialogue system. Our goal is to allow natural, unrestricted student interaction with the computer tutor, which has been shown to improve the student’s learning gain, but presents challenges for speech recognition and spoken language understanding. Here we describe the system design, focusing on the components used for sp...
