A strategy for mixed-initiative dialogue control

نویسنده

  • Lars Bo Larsen
چکیده

This paper describes a strategy for mixed-initiative spoken dialogue management. The strategy is outlined, and two experiments are carried out to investigate the methodology. The experiments are carried out within the Esprit OVID1project. The OVID project is concerned with the development of trial applications within automated banking services [1]. Among other things, the OVID user specifications [2] states that the customer must be in control of the interaction. However, this may not always lead to the most natural or efficient mode of communication, as humans often expect others to hold or take the initiative in conversations. Therefore, a mixed-initiative strategy is proposed.
