Matchmaking: Dialogue Modelling and Speech Generation Meet
نویسنده
چکیده
This article is concerned with determining the constraints on the selection of appropriate intonation in speech generation in human-machine information seeking dialogues. The two pillars of our system|a state-of-the-art computational dialogue model and a state-of-the-art NL generator|are presented. Based on this, we determine the kinds of linguistic and pragmatic knowledge needed to suuciently constrain choice in the intona-tional resources of the system. We take into consideration factors such as dialogue history, speaker's attitudes, hearer's expectations, and semantic speech functions.

متن کاملSpeech Dialogue Systems A “Pragmatics-First” Approach to Rational Interaction
Modelling rational dialogues on the basis of Finite-State Automata has shown to be of limited use when natural speech behaviour and dynamic adaptation to new domains are an issue. To enable such a flexible, robust and generic dialogue management, we rely on an approach characterized by a logically precise modelling of the linguistic and application aspects of the domain in question and a dialog...
متن کاملTalking to Machines (statist
Statistical methods have long been the dominant approach in speech recognition and probabilistic modelling in ASR is now a mature technology. The use of statistical methods in other areas of spoken dialogue is however more recent and rather less mature. This paper reviews spoken dialogue systems from a statistical modelling perspective. The complete system is first presented as a partially obse...

متن کاملAudiotaped Dialogue Journal: A Technique to Improve Speaking Skill of Iranian EFL Learners
This study attempted to investigate whether there was any significant difference between the speaking achievement of learners who were trained by means of audiotaped dialogue journal, dialogue journal writing, or traditional free speech. The participants, 45 male and female students aged between 21 and 32, were selected by random sampling from among free speech classes in an English teaching...
