Dialogue System Localization with the GF Resource Grammar Library
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two experiments in the localization of spoken dialogue systems. The domain of the dialogue system is an MP3 application for automobiles. In the first experiment, a grammar in Nuance GSL format was rewritten in Grammatical Framework (GF). Within GF, the grammar was extended from two to six languages, giving a baseline for semantically complete grammars. In the second experiment, the German version of this baseline GF grammar was extended with the goal to restore the coverage of the original Nuance grammar.

The GF Resource Grammar Library is a set of natural language grammars implemented in GF (Grammatical Framework). These grammars are in a strong sense parallel: they are built upon a common abstract syntax, i.e. a common tree structure. Individual languages are obtained via compositional mappings from abstract syntax trees to feature structures specific to each language. The grammar defines, for...

Grammatical Framework (GF) [5] is a grammar formalism for describing formal and natural languages. An application grammar in GF is usually written for a restricted language domain, e.g. to map a formal language to a natural language. A resource grammar, on the other hand, aims at a complete description of a natural languages. The language-independent grammar API (Application Programmer’s Interf...
متن کاملModular Grammar Engineering in GF
The Grammatical Framework GF is a grammar formalism designed for multilingual grammars. A multilingual grammar has a shared representation, called abstract syntax, and a set of concrete syntaxes that map the abstract syntax to different languages. A GF grammar consists of modules, which can share code through inheritance, but which can also hide information to achieve division of labour between...
متن کاملRapid Development of Dialogue Systems by Grammar Compilation∗
We propose a method for rapid development of dialogue systems where a Grammatical Framework (GF) grammar is compiled into a complete VoiceXML application. This makes dialogue systems easy to develop, maintain, localize, and port to other platforms, and can improve the linguistic quality of generated system output. We have developed compilers which produce VoiceXML dialogue managers and ECMAScri...

Grammatical Framework (GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory and functional programming. It is also a platform for multilingual applications such as translation, localization, and information retrieval. To enable non-linguist programmers to build linguistically precise applications, GF provides a Resource Grammar Library (RGL), which defines the basic syntax, morphology, and lexicon o...
