Semi-automated incremental prototyping of spoken dialog systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cost-e ective development and widespread deployment of spoken language systems is only possible if their development process is substantially supported by intelligent design tools. In this paper, we present PIA a new approach for fast prototyping of complex spoken dialog systems. Dialog structures are speci ed in a specialised fully declarative design language. Dialog design in PIA is considered a knowledge acquisition task, where knowledge about possible user input and the desired system reaction is incrementally derived from actual interactions. PIA strongly supports the designer to keep the ne balance between robustness of recognition and the naturalness of the dialog.

WFSTDM Builder – Network-based Spoken Dialogue System Builder for Easy Prototyping
This paper introduces a network-based spoken dialog system development tool kit: WFSTDM Builder developed by NICT. WFSTDM Builder provides functions to share and edit SLU and scenario so that developers can create a wfst-based spoken dialogue system instantly with this tool. One can test the scenario by accessing to the servers connected such as ASR, TTS and WFSTDM server via not only the tool’...
متن کاملAdaptable dialog architecture and runtime engine (AdaRTE): A framework for rapid prototyping of health dialog systems
Spoken dialog systems have been increasingly employed to provide ubiquitous access via telephone to information and services for the non-Internet-connected public. They have been successfully applied in the health care context; however, speech technology requires a considerable development investment. The advent of VoiceXML reduced the proliferation of incompatible dialog formalisms, at the exp...

Spoken dialog systems have been widely researched, and are in everyday use (e.g., Amtrak’s automated reservation system at 1-800-USA-RAIL). This research, however, has been targeted at Western users – comparatively affluent, literate, with many different options for information access, and with very different realities than those of the typical user in the developing world. Further research is ...
متن کاملSemi-automatic Creation of Resources for Spoken Dialog Systems
The increasing number of spoken dialog systems calls for efficient approaches for their development and testing. Our goal is the minimization of hand-crafted resources to maximize the portability of this evaluation environment across spoken dialog systems and domains. In this paper we discuss the user simulation technique which allows us to learn general user strategies from a new corpus. We pr...
متن کاملMemo workbench for semi-automated usability testing
In this paper we present a new approach to the automation of usability evaluation for interactive systems. Design ideas or complete systems are modeled as a conditional state machine. Then, user interactions with the system are simulated on the basis of tasks, by first searching for possible solution paths and then generating deviations from these paths under consideration of user groups and sy...
