Using the Process of Distilling Dialogues to Understand Dialogue Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distilled dialogues, i.e. re-written natural dialogues, are a useful complement to dialogues collected in Wizard of Oz-experiments or in natural settings for development of dialogue systems. However, the distillation process itself also provides insights on human-computer interaction and on properties of dialogue systems. In this paper we present the distillation process, including how the guidelines are developed, and experiences from utilising distillation.

Distilling dialogues - A method using natural dialogue corpora for dialogue systems development
We report on a method for utilising corpora collected in natural settings. It is based on distilling (re-writing) natural dialogues to elicit the type of dialogue that would occur if one the dialogue participants was a computer instead of a human. The method is a complement to other means such asWizard of Oz-studies and un-distilled natural dialogues. We present the distilling method and guidel...

متن کاملUser Modeling For Spoken Dialogue
Automatic speech dialogue systems are becoming common. In order to assess their performance, a large sample of real dialogues has to be collected and evaluated. This process is expensive, labor intensive , and prone to errors. To alleviate this situation we propose a user simulation to conduct dialogues with the system under investigation. Using stochastic modeling of real users we can both deb...
متن کاملExploring the Characteristics of Multi-Party Dialogues
This paper describes novel results on the characteristics of three-party dialogues by quantitatively comparing them with those of two-party. In previous dialogue research, two-party dialogues are mainly focussed because data collection of multi-party dialogues is difficult and there are very few theories handling them, although research on multi-party dialogues is expected to be of much use in ...
