Mixed Initiative in a Spoken Dialogue System
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we outline a data driven approach to mixed initiative dialogue in acoustic user interfaces to databases. We present the knowledge sources that our dialogue planning algorithm needs: the dialogue model, the dialogue history, and the application description. Further, we discuss how the notions of taking, keeping, giving, and relinquishing the turn are reflected in our approach and how to combine these notions with the knowledge sources in order to decide on an appropriate strategy for the dialogue and to achieve a mixed initiative type of dialogue in which the user is able take the initiative and change the direction of the dialogue.

MIMIC: An Adaptive Mixed Initiative Spoken Dialogue System for Information Queries
This paper describes MIMIC, an adaptive mixed initiative spoken dialogue system that provides movie showtime information. MIMIC improves upon previous dialogue systems in two respects. First, it employs initiative-oriented strategy adaptation to automatically adapt response generation strategies based on the cumulative effect of information dynamically extracted from user utterances during the ...
متن کاملEvaluating Automatic Dialogue Strategy Adaptation for a Spoken Dialogue System
In this paper, we describe an empirical evaluation of an adaptive mixed initiative spoken dialogue system. We conducted two sets of experiments to evaluate the mixed initiative and automatic adaptation aspects of the system, and analyzed the resulting dialogues along three dimensions: performance factors, discourse features, and initiative distribution. Our results show that 1) both the mixed i...
متن کاملIdentification of Speaker Actions in Mixed Initiative Dialogue
Today’s state-of-the-art spoken language dialogue systems (SLDSs) are mainly system-directed leaving very little initiative to the user. This paper discusses how to enable controlled steps in the direction of mixedinitiative SLDSs. The discussion is based on experience from the design, implementation and test of system-directed dialogue for a spoken language dialogue system and on first Wizard ...
متن کاملImproving speech interaction with mixed initiative dialogue Loquendo SDS - Spoken Dialog System
The transition from system-directed to mixed-initiative human-machine dialogue has been a focus of several research institutes and industries during the past several years [4,5]. The term “mixedinitiative” was introduced in the artificial intelligence literature by Jaime Carbonell, who described a prototype that “is capable of maintaining a mixed initiative dialogue with the student, with quest...
متن کاملAn Efficient Language Understanding Approach for Mixed-Initiative Spoken Dialogue Systems
A practical spoken dialogue system in a mixed-initiative scheme must be able to handle a variety of concepts supplied by users. This is mostly responsible by a language understanding module, which converts an input word string to a semantic concept understood by the system. This article proposes a novel language understanding approach, which consists of two modules, a subframe extraction module...
متن کاملMINOS-II: a prototype car navigation system with mixed initiative turn taking dialogue
Spoken dialogue systems are classified into three types from the viewpoint of turn taking. Dialogue can be led by the system (system initiative), the user (user initiative), and their mixture (mixed initiative). In this paper, EUROPA, a framework for developing spoken dialogue systems, is introduced. EUROPA is applied to prototyping a car navigation system called MINOS-II. MINOS-II deals with a...
