Information state and dialogue management in the TRINDI dialogue move engine toolkit
We i n troduce an architecture and toolkit for building dialogue managers currently being developed in the TRINDI project, based on the notions of information state and dialogue move engine. The aim is to provide a framework for experimenting with implementations of diierent theories of information state, information state update and dialogue control. A n umber of dialogue managers are currentl...
متن کاملBayesian update of dialogue state: A POMDP framework for spoken dialogue systems
This paper describes a statistically motivated framework for performing real-time dialogue state updates and policy learning in a spoken dialogue system. The framework is based on the partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), which provides a well-founded, statistical model of spoken dialogue management. However, exact belief state updates in a POMDP model are computationally intrac...
متن کاملOptimisation for POMDP-based Spoken Dialogue Systems
Spoken dialogue systems (SDS) allow users to interact with a wide variety of information systems using speech as the primary, and often the only, communication medium. The principal elements of an SDS are a speech understanding component which converts each spoken input into an abstract semantic representation called a user dialogue act, a dialogue manager which responds to the user’s input and...
متن کاملModelling spoken dialogues with state transition diagrams: experiences with the CSLU toolkit
The development of a spoken dialogue system is a complex process involving the integration of several component technologies. Various toolkits and authoring environments have been produced that provide assistance with this process. This paper reports on several projects involving CSLU’s RAD (Rapid Application Developer) and critically evaluates the applicability of state transition diagrams for...
متن کاملResults from an Evaluation of a Dialogue Manager
We give the results from an evaluation of the dialogue manager of a developing, Slovenian and Croatian spoken dialogue system for weather-information retrieval. The results are based on two Wizard-of-Oz experiments and the application of the PARADISE evaluation framework. The only difference between both experiment settings is in the dialogue-management manner, i.e., while in the first experime...
