Generation Models for Spoken Dialogues
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper discusses what kind of generation model is suitable for spoken dialogue responses. We describe different existing models of generation, and compare them from the point of view of spoken dialogue systems. We introduce a model of generation based on new information focus, and argue that this addresses the communicative requirements of flexible spoken dialogue systems (incrementality, immediacy and interactivity). We discuss the relationship between the dialogue manager and the generator, and what kind of interface they should share. We describe a flexible shallow generation approach which combines template-based generation with a pipeline of distinct processing levels.

Evaluating spoken dialogue models under the interactive pattern recognition framework
The new Interactive Pattern Recognition (IPR) framework has been proposed to deal with human-machine interaction. In this context a new formulation has been recently defined to represent a Spoken Dialogue System as an IPR problem. In this work this formulation is applied to define graphical models that deal with Spoken Dialogue Systems. The definition of both a Dialogue Manager and a User Model...
متن کاملData-driven Classification of Linguistic Styles in Spoken Dialogues
Language users have individual linguistic styles. A spoken dialogue system may benefit from adapting to the linguistic style of a user in input analysis and output generation. To investigate the possibility to automatically classify speakers according to their linguistic style three corpora of spoken dialogues were analyzed. Several numerical parameters were computed for every speaker. These pa...
متن کاملLearning Adaptive Referring Expression Generation Policies for Spoken Dialogue Systems using Reinforcement Learning
Adaptive generation of referring expressions in dialogues is beneficial in terms of grounding between the dialogue partners. However, handcoding adaptive REG policies is hard. We present a reinforcement learning framework to automatically learn an adaptive referring expression generation policy for spoken dialogue systems.
