A Frame-Based Probabilistic Framework for Spoken Dialog Management Using Dialog Examples
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a probabilistic framework for spoken dialog management using dialog examples. To overcome the complexity problems of the classic partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) based dialog manager, we use a frame-based belief state representation that reduces the complexity of belief update. We also used dialog examples to maintain a reasonable number of system actions to reduce the complexity of the optimizing policy. We developed weather information and car navigation dialog system that employed a frame-based probabilistic framework. This framework enables people to develop a spoken dialog system using a probabilistic approach without complexity problem of POMDP.

Probabilistic Ontology Trees for Belief Tracking in Dialog Systems
We introduce a novel approach for robust belief tracking of user intention within a spoken dialog system. The space of user intentions is modeled by a probabilistic extension of the underlying domain ontology called a probabilistic ontology tree (POT). POTs embody a principled approach to leverage the dependencies among domain concepts and incorporate corroborating or conflicting dialog observa...
متن کاملA PROBABILISTIC DESCRIPTION OF MAN−MACHINE SPOKEN COMMUNICATION (WedAmPO1)
Speech enabled interfaces and spoken dialog sys−tems are mostly based on statistical speech and language processing modules. Their behavior is therefore not deterministic and hardly predictable. This makes the simulation and the optimization of such systems performances difficult, as well as the reuse of previous work to build new systems. In the aim of a partially automated optimization of suc...
متن کاملRobust Dialog Management with N-Best Hypotheses Using Dialog Examples and Agenda
This work presents an agenda-based approach to improve the robustness of the dialog manager by using dialog examples and n-best recognition hypotheses. This approach supports n-best hypotheses in the dialog manager and keeps track of the dialog state using a discourse interpretation algorithm with the agenda graph and focus stack. Given the agenda graph and n-best hypotheses, the system can pre...
متن کاملBelief Augmented Frame Sets for Knowledge Representation in Spoken Dialog Systems
We propose a frame structure that is augmented with belief functions to model knowledge in a spoken dialog system. In addition we propose methods to combine belief functions in the network, and operations on the network to support a dialog manager. We show how our Belief Augmented Frames framework can be used to manage a spoken dialog system, and give a simple example on how knowledge can be re...
متن کاملEfficient Probabilistic Tracking of User Goal and Dialog History for Spoken Dialog Systems
In this paper, we describe Dynamic Probabilistic Ontology Trees, a new probabilistic model to track dialog state in a dialog system. Our model captures both the user goal and the history of user dialog acts using a unified Bayesian Network. We perform efficient inference using a form of blocked Gibbs sampling designed to exploit the structure of the model. Evaluation on a corpus of dialogs from...
