Generating Utterances in Dialogue Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the language output component of the Sundial spoken dialogue system. Following a dialogue planning decision to produce an utterance, an utterance planning component derives a semantic description drawing on a model of speakers' knowledge of the domain. This semantic description is linguistically real-ised by a generation component which draws on a bi-directional lexicon-grammar. The algorithm recycles structure from a contextual history of previous utterances, where this is possible.

Small Talk Improves User Impressions of Interview Dialogue Systems
This paper addresses the problem of how to build interview systems that users are willing to use. Existing interview dialogue systems are mainly focused on obtaining information from users, thus they just repeatedly ask questions. We propose a method for improving user impressions by engaging in small talk during interviews. The system performs framebased dialogue management for interviewing an...
متن کاملSelecting Help Messages by Using Robust Grammar Verification for Handling Out-of-Grammar Utterances in Spoken Dialogue Systems
We address the issue of out-of-grammar (OOG) utterances in spoken dialogue systems by generating help messages. Help message generation for OOG utterances is a challenge because language understanding based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) of OOG utterances is usually erroneous; important words are often misrecognized or missing from such utterances. Our grammar verification method uses a ...
متن کاملGenerating Feedback and Sequencing Moves in a Dialogue System
In current dialogue systems, user utterances are often verified by the system to make sure the system heard the user right. While this mechanism is useful and important in dialogue systems, it covers only a small part of the spectrum of interactive communication management (ICM) devices occuring in human-human dialogue. A view of the full range of ICM dialogue moves can be useful for suggesting...
متن کاملWeb Resource Selection for Dialogue System Generating Natural Responses
Using Web information in example-based dialogue systems is considered to be a good way to increase the topical relevance of system responses. However, Web content is mostly written documents, not colloquial utterances. To alleviate the discrepancy in style between written and spoken language, we suggest that the corpus should be selected subsets of the Web, viz., online bulletin boards. The nat...
متن کاملRanking Help Message Candidates Based on Robust Grammar Verification Results and Utterance History in Spoken Dialogue Systems
We address an issue of out-of-grammar (OOG) utterances in spoken dialogue systems by generating help messages for novice users. Help generation for OOG utterances is a challenging problem because language understanding (LU) results based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) results for such utterances are always erroneous as important words are often misrecognized or missed from such utterance...
