Conceptual Language Models For Dialog Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contrary to speech interpretation by humans in which the same discourse may be interpreted differently by different subjects, for practical applications of computer understanding the result of interpretation should be unique for a given signal. Usually it is represented by an object which is an instance of class corresponding to a semantic structure which can be fairly complex even if it is built with instances of conceptual constituents belonging to a small set of major ontological categories.

Using Conceptual Models to Implement Natural Language Pedagogic Agent-Student Conversations
The last several decades have seen a growing trend in incorporating pedagogic conversational agents in interactive learning environments. Software systems have increasingly integrated intelligent virtual agents that can interact with students in natural language to fulfill specific tasks such as reviewing content or providing tutor training. The use of an agent-based approach in education has s...
متن کاملConceptual language model design for spoken language understanding
This paper describes the construction and use of language models specific to semantic concepts. A tolerance mechanism is introduced in order to design conceptual constituents that cover longer word patterns while remaining robust to spontaneous speech disfluencies and recognition errors. These models are obtained from sentence patterns which grow from essential information to longer sequences o...
متن کاملRe-Ranking Models Based-on Small Training Data for Spoken Language Understanding
The design of practical language applications by means of statistical approaches requires annotated data, which is one of the most critical constraint. This is particularly true for Spoken Dialog Systems since considerably domain-specific conceptual annotation is needed to obtain accurate Language Understanding models. Since data annotation is usually costly, methods to reduce the amount of dat...
متن کاملConceptual decoding for spoken dialog systems
A search methodology is proposed for performing conceptual decoding process. Such a process provides the best sequence of word hypotheses according to a set of conceptual interpretations. The resulting models are combined in a network of Stochastic Finite State Transducers. This approach is a framework that tries to bridge the gap between speech recognition and speech understanding processes. I...
متن کاملLanguage model adaptation for spoken language systems
In a human-machine interaction (dialog) the statistical language variations are large among different stages of the dialog and across different speakers. Moreover, spoken dialog systems require extensive training data for training adaptive language models. In this paper we address the problem of open-vocabulary language models allowing the user for any possible response at each stage of the dia...
