چکیده

Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) have gained significant interest in research on spoken dialogue systems, due to among many benefits its ability to naturally model the dialogue strategy selection problem under the unreliability in automated speech recognition. However, the POMDP approaches are essentially model-based, and as a result, the dialogue strategy computed from POMDP is subject to the correctness of the model. In this paper, we extend some of the previous user models for POMDPs, and evaluate the effects of user models on the dialogue strategy computed from POMDP.

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...

Bayesian 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...

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

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 manage...

Semantic Graph Clustering for POMDP-Based Spoken Dialog Systems

Dialog managers (DM) in spoken dialogue systems make decisions in highly uncertain conditions, due to errors from the speech recognition and spoken language understanding (SLU) modules. In this work a framework to interface efficient probabilistic modeling for both the SLU and the DM modules is described and investigated. Thorough representation of the user semantics is inferred by the SLU in t...

Gaussian processes for POMDP-based dialogue manager optimisation

A partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) has been proposed as a dialogue model that enables automatic optimisation of the dialogue policy and provides robustness to speech understanding errors. Various approximations allow such a model to be used for building realworld dialogue systems. However, they require a large number of dialogues to train the dialogue policy and hence they t...
