Statistical Dialog Manager Design Tool for Health Screening and Assessments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We focus on creating a programming tool which enables to create dialog managers for speech-enabled IVA applications in the standardized health screening and assessment domain. Our approach aims to bridge the gap between the intelligent virtual agents (IVA) and the spoken dialog systems (SDS) research communities for the delivery of standardized health interviews by embodied conversational agents (ECA).

A statistical approach to spoken dialog systems design and evaluation
In this paper, we present a statistical approach for the development of a dialog manager and for learning optimal dialog strategies. This methodology is based on a classification procedure that considers all of the previous history of the dialog to select the next system answer. To evaluate the performance of the dialog system, the statistical approach for dialog management has been extended to...
متن کاملCost-level integration of statistical and rule-based dialog managers
Statistical dialog managers can potentially make more robust decisions than their rule-based counterparts, because they can account for uncertainties due to errors in speech recognition and natural language understanding. In practice, however, statistical dialog managers can be difficult to use, as they may require a large number of parameters to be inferred from limited data. Consequently, han...
متن کاملCombining user intention and error modeling for statistical dialog simulators
Statistical user simulation is an efficient and effective way to train and evaluate the performance of a (spoken) dialog system. In this paper, we design and evaluate a modular data-driven dialog simulator where we decouple the “intentional” component of the User Simulator from the Error Simulator representing different types of ASR/SLU noisy channel distortion. While the former is composed by ...
متن کاملCombining Expression and Content in Domains for Dialog Managers
We present work in progress on abstracting dialog managers from their domain in order to implement a dialog manager development tool which takes (among other data) a domain description as input and delivers a new dialog manager for the described domain as output. Thereby we will focus on two topics; firstly, the construction of domain descriptions with description logics and secondly, the inter...
متن کاملA statistical dialog manager for the LUNA project
In this paper, we present an approach for the development of a statistical dialog manager, in which the system response is selected by means of a classification process which considers all the previous history of the dialog to select the next system response. In particular, we use decision trees for its implementation. The statistical model is automatically learned from training data which are ...
