A multi-domain dialog system to integrate heterogeneous spoken dialog systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an architecture to create a multidomain spoken dialog system with minimum effort by composing heterogeneous pre-existent spoken dialog systems into a new system able to perform richer interactions. A Task Manager acts as a proxy for the different sub-domains and activates one of the systems each turn. The different sub-systems are not aware that they are used in a multi-domain scenario and believe that they are speaking directly to the user. This allows us to add new domains leaving most of the underlying models unmodified and reducing the amount of time and money needed to deploy the application. The proposed architecture has been applied to create a multi-domain system combining three heterogeneous spoken dialog systems (sport facilities booking, weather service and personal calendar) in Spanish. The evaluation with naive real users shows that this is an appropriate approach to develop multi-domain spoken dialog systems.

An Architecture for Multi-Domain Spoken Dialog Systems
Several spoken dialog systems for the speci c task domain have been developed so far. But there are only a few multi-domain systems which consider about extensibility and scalability. This paper proposes a distributed architecture for the multi-domain spoken dialog systems which satis es extensibility and scalability. The key concept of the architecture is distribution and integration of the da...
متن کاملDetecting Multiple Domains from User's Utterance in Spoken Dialog System
Multi-domain spoken dialog system should be able to detect more than one domain from a user’s utterance. However, it is difficult to train an accurate binary classifier of a domain based on only positive and unlabeled examples. This paper improves hierarchical clustering algorithm to automatically identify reliable negative examples among unlabeled examples. This paper also verifies three linka...
متن کاملContinuous listening for unconstrained spoken dialog
A major hindrance to rendering spoken dialog systems capable of ongoing, continuous listening without requiring a push-to-talk device is the problem of distinguishing speech which is intended for the system from that which is overheard. We present a decision-theoretic approach to this problem that exploits Bayesian models of spoken dialog at four levels of analysis within a domain-independent, ...
متن کاملJoint Learning of Dialog Act Segmentation and Recognition in Spoken Dialog Using Neural Networks
Dialog act segmentation and recognition are basic natural language understanding tasks in spoken dialog systems. This paper investigates a unified architecture for these two tasks, which aims to improve the model’s performance on both of the tasks. Compared with past joint models, the proposed architecture can (1) incorporate contextual information in dialog act recognition, and (2) integrate m...
متن کاملDomain adaptation augmented by state-dependence in spoken dialog systems
In the development of spoken dialog systems, domain adaptation and dialog state-dependent language model are usually researched separately. This paper proposes a new approach for domain adaptation augmented by the dialog state-dependence, which means a dialog turn based cache model decaying synchronously with the dialog state change. Through this approach it’s more simple and rapid to adapt a C...
