Integrating Location, Visibility, and Question-Answering in a Spoken Dialogue System for Pedestrian City Exploration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate a spoken dialogue-based information system for pedestrians. The system is novel in combining geographic information system (GIS) modules such as a visibility engine with a question-answering (QA) system, integrated within a dialogue system architecture. Users of the demonstration system can use a web-based version (simulating pedestrian movement using StreetView) to engage in a variety of interleaved conversations such as navigating from A to B, using the QA functionality to learn more about points of interest (PoI) nearby, and searching for amenities and tourist attractions. This system explores a variety of research questions involving the integration of multiple information sources within conversational interaction.

Multi-threaded Interaction Management for Dynamic Spatial Applications
We present a multi-threaded Interaction Manager (IM) that is used to track different dimensions of user-system conversations that are required to interleave with each other in a coherent and timely manner. This is explained in the context of a spoken dialogue system for pedestrian navigation and city question-answering, with information push about nearby or visible points-of-interest (PoI).

متن کاملWalk This Way: Spatial Grounding for City Exploration
Recently there has been an interest in spatially aware systems for pedestrian routing and city exploration, due to the proliferation of smartphones with GPS receivers among the general public. Since GPS readings are noisy, giving good and well-timed route instructions to pedestrians is a challenging problem. This paper describes a spoken-dialogue prototype for pedestrian navigation in Stockholm...
