Making an information state-based spoken dialogue system less fragile
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe several architectural features of the Athos agentbased framework for the construction of spoken dialogue systems, and additional features in two application demonstrators, AthosMail and AthosNews, that contribute to the robustness of their operation. These include adaptation of recognition resources to personal and application data, use of a broad-coverage robust parser as an intermediate layer between ASR and logical interpretation building, discourse model preinitialization, sophisticated reasoning-based discourse interpreter capable of resolving complex expressions referring to sets and individuals.

Optimisation for POMDP-based Spoken Dialogue Systems
Spoken dialogue systems (SDS) allow users to interact with a wide variety of information systems using speech as the primary, and often the only, communication medium. The principal elements of an SDS are a speech understanding component which converts each spoken input into an abstract semantic representation called a user dialogue act, a dialogue manager which responds to the user’s input and...
متن کاملDialogue-based Management of user Feedback in an Autonomous Preference Learning System
We present an enhanced method for user feedback in an autonomous learning system that includes a spoken dialogue system to manage the interactions between the users and the system. By means of a rule-based natural language understanding module and a state-based dialogue manager we allow the users to update the preferences learnt by the system from the data obtained from different sensors. The d...
متن کاملModeling Spoken Decision Making Dialogue and Optimization of its Dialogue Strategy
This paper presents a spoken dialogue framework that helps users in making decisions. Users often do not have a definite goal or criteria for selecting from a list of alternatives. Thus the system has to bridge this knowledge gap and also provide the users with an appropriate alternative together with the reason for this recommendation through dialogue. We present a dialogue state model for suc...
متن کاملA dialogue system with contextually appropriate spoken output intonation
We demonstrate the production of spoken output with contextually appropriate intonation in the information-state based dialogue system GoDiS. We exploit the context representation in the information state to determine the information structure of system utterances, which we use to control the intonation of synthesized spoken output.
متن کاملOptimizing Dialogue Strategy Learning Using Learning Automata
Modeling the behavior of the dialogue management in the design of a spoken dialogue system using statistical methodologies is currently a growing research area. This paper presents a work on developing an adaptive learning approach to optimize dialogue strategy. At the core of our system is a method formalizing dialogue management as a sequential decision making under uncertainty whose underlyi...
