Zero to Spoken Dialogue System in One Quarter: Teaching Computational Linguistics to Linguists Using Regulus
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a Computational Linguistics course designed for Linguistics students. The course is structured around the architecture of a Spoken Dialogue System and makes extensive use of the dialogue system tools and examples available in the Regulus Open Source Project. Although only a quarter long course, students learn Computational Linguistics and programming sufficient to build their own Spoken Dialogue System as a course project.

متن کاملSoftware to support research and development of spoken dialogue systems
The development of a spoken dialogue system requires the integration of the various components of spoken language technology, such as speech recognition, natural language processing, dialogue modelling, and speech synthesis. Recently several toolkits have been developed that provide support for this process, enabling developers who have no specialist knowledge of the component technologies to p...
متن کاملCitation Behaviours of Applied Linguists in Discussion Sections of Research Articles
It is now generally accepted that academic writing is a social activity by which the authors negotiate with their audience to gain community acceptance for their findings. One of the ways to achieve such an acceptance is by establishing intertextual links to prior research using citation. Despite a vast research on the topic and suggestion of typologies for the form and function of citation in ...
متن کاملUsing Paraphrases of Deep Semantic Representions to Support Regression Testing in Spoken Dialogue Systems
Rule-based spoken dialogue systems require a good regression testing framework if they are to be maintainable. We argue that there is a tension between two extreme positions when constructing the database of test examples. On the one hand, if the examples consist of input/output tuples representing many levels of internal processing, they are finegrained enough to catch most processing errors, ...
