DMML: An XML Language for Interacting with Multi-Modal Dialog Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present Dialog Moves Markup Language (DMML): an extensible markup language (XML) representation of modality independent communicative acts of automated conversational agents. In our architecture, DMML is the interface to and from conversational dialog managers for user interactions through any channel or modality. The use of a common XML interface language across different channels promotes high cost efficiency for the business. DMML itself has no application or domain specific elements; DMML elements embed elements representing application business logic. DMML captures the abstractions necessary to represent arbitrary multi-agent dialogs and to build cost-efficient, sophisticated natural language dialog systems for business applications.

A Model for Multi-modal Dialogue System Output Applied to an Animated Talking Head
We present a formalism for specifying verbal and non-verbal output from a multi-modal dialogue system. The output specification is XML-based and provides information about communicative functions of the output, without detailing the realisation of these functions. The aim is to let dialogue systems generate the same output for a wide variety of output devices and modalities. The formalism was d...
متن کاملISIS: a multi-modal, trilingual, distributed spoken dialog system developed with CORBA, java, XML and KQML
ISIS (Intelligent Speech for Information Systems) is a trilingual spoken dialog system in the stocks domain. It supports the three languages commonly used in Hong Kong (Cantonese, Putonghua and English), and serves as a test-bed for our research in various speech and language technologies. ISIS also features combined interaction and delegation dialogs, and automatic assimilation of newly listed...
متن کاملDSML: A Proposal for XML Standards for Messaging Between Components of a Natural Language Dialog System
In this paper, we propose using standard XML messaging interfaces between components of natural language dialog systems. We describe a stock trading and information access system, where XML is used to encode speech acts, transactions and retrieved information in messages between system components. We use an XML/XSL based unification approach to display personalized, multi-modal system responses...
متن کاملA multi-modal dialog system for a mobile robot
A challenging domain for dialog systems is their use for the communication with robotic assistants. In contrast to the classical use of spoken language for information retrieval, on a mobile robot multimodal dialogs and the dynamic interaction of the robot system with its environment have to be considered. In this paper we will present the dialog system developed for BIRON – the Bielefeld Robot...
متن کاملAutomatic Creation Of Interface Specifications From Ontologies
The paper presents a system architecture for the automatic generation of interface specifications from ontologies.1 The ensuing interfaces (XML schema definitions) preserve a significant amount of the knowledge originally encoded in the ontology. The approach is relevant for the engineering of large-scale language technology systems. It has been successfully deployed in a complex multi-modal di...
