A tractable DDN-POMDP approach to affective dialogue modeling for general probabilistic frame-based dialogue systems

چکیده
We propose a new approach to developing a tractable affective dialogue model for general probabilistic frame-based dialogue systems. The dialogue model, based on the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) and the Dynamic Decision Network (DDN) techniques, is composed of two main parts, the slot level dialogue manager and the global dialogue manager. Our implemented dialogue manager prototype can handle hundreds of slots; each slot might have many values. A rst evaluation of the slot level dialogue manager (1-slot case) showed that with a 95% con dence level the DDN-POMDP dialogue strategy outperforms three simple handcrafted dialogue strategies when the user's action error is induced by stress.

A tractable hybrid DDN-POMDP approach to affective dialogue modeling for probabilistic frame-based dialogue systems
Designing and developing affective dialogue systems have been receiving much interest from the dialogue research community [1]. Previous work was mainly focused on showing the system’s emotion to the user in order to achieve designer’s goals such as helping students practice nursing tasks [7] or persuading users to change their dietary behavior [6]. A more challenging issue is to develop a robu...
متن کاملFeature-based summary space for stochastic dialogue modeling with hierarchical semantic frames
In a spoken dialogue system, the dialogue manager needs to make decisions in a highly noisy environment, mainly due to speech recognition and understanding errors. This work addresses this issue by proposing a framework to interface efficient probabilistic modeling for both the spoken language understanding module and the dialogue management module. First hierarchical semantic frames are inferr...
متن کاملA POMDP approach to Affective Dialogue Modeling
We propose a novel approach to developing a dialogue model that is able to take into account some aspects of the user's affective state and to act appropriately. Our dialogue model uses a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process approach with observations composed of the observed user's affective state and action. A simple example of route navigation is explained to clarify our approach. Th...
متن کاملBayesian update of dialogue state: A POMDP framework for spoken dialogue systems
This paper describes a statistically motivated framework for performing real-time dialogue state updates and policy learning in a spoken dialogue system. The framework is based on the partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), which provides a well-founded, statistical model of spoken dialogue management. However, exact belief state updates in a POMDP model are computationally intrac...
متن کاملProbabilistic Dialogue Modeling for Speech-Enabled Assistive Technology
People with motor disabilities often face substantial challenges using interfaces designed for manual interaction. Although such obstacles might be partially alleviated by automatic speech recognition, these individuals may also have cooccurring speech-language challenges that result in high recognition error rates. In this paper, we investigate how augmenting speech applications with dialogue ...
