A conversation acts model for generating spoken dialogue contributions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a generation system for spoken dialogue that not only produces coherent, informative and responsive dialogue contributions, but also explicitly models human styles of interaction. This generation system is based on conversation acts theory. It has been implemented in the TRIPS spoken dialogue system, and includes components that plan content, perform surface generation for different modalities, and coordinate output production. We discuss our implementation, and describe an evaluation of the generation output. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reseved

An Empirical Model of Acknowledgement for Spoken-Language Systems
We reene and extend prior views of the description , purposes, and contexts-of-use of acknowledgment acts through empirical examination of the use of acknowledgments in task-based conversation. We distinguish three broad classes of acknowledgments (other!ackn, self!other!ackn, and self+ackn) and present a catalogue of 13 patterns within these classes that account for the spe-ciic uses of acknow...
متن کاملA Sequence-to-Sequence Model for User Simulation in Spoken Dialogue Systems
User simulation is essential for generating enough data to train a statistical spoken dialogue system. Previous models for user simulation suffer from several drawbacks, such as the inability to take dialogue history into account, the need of rigid structure to ensure coherent user behaviour, heavy dependence on a specific domain, the inability to output several user intentions during one dialo...
متن کاملUsing Reinforcement Learning to Build a Better Model of Dialogue State
Given the growing complexity of tasks that spoken dialogue systems are trying to handle, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been increasingly used as a way of automatically learning the best policy for a system to make. While most work has focused on generating better policies for a dialogue manager, very little work has been done in using RL to construct a better dialogue state. This paper presen...
متن کاملModelling speech acts in conversational discourse
Computational pragmatics and dialogue analysis is currently a rapidly growing area of research in computational linguistics. Over the past five years or so, initiatives in modelling pragmatic aspects of dialogue have led to considerably improved spoken language dialogue systems – so much so in fact that constrained human-computer interaction no longer seems out of the question. One of the main ...
متن کاملA Multi-Purpose Model of Conversational Context
Natural language dialogue systems require con-textual information for a variety of processing functions, including reference resolution, speech act recognition, and dialogue management. While much has been written about individual contextual problems, many of the proposed representations are mutually incompatible , unusable by the agents involved in a conversation , or both. We present a model ...
