Statistical Dialogue Management using Intention Dependency Graph
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method of statistical dialogue management using a directed intention dependency graph (IDG) in a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) framework. The transition probabilities in this model involve information derived from a hierarchical graph of intentions. In this way, we combine the deterministic graph structure of a conventional rule-based system with a statistical dialogue framework. The IDG also provides a reasonable constraint on a user simulation model, which is used when learning a policy function in POMDP and dialogue evaluation. Thus, this method converts a conventional dialogue manager to a statistical dialogue manager that utilizes task domain knowledge without annotated dialogue data.

Speakers' Intention Prediction Using Statistics of Multi-level Features in a Schedule Management Domain
Speaker’s intention prediction modules can be widely used as a pre-processor for reducing the search space of an automatic speech recognizer. They also can be used as a preprocessor for generating a proper sentence in a dialogue system. We propose a statistical model to predict speakers’ intentions by using multi-level features. Using the multi-level features (morpheme-level features, discourse...
متن کاملStochastic Discourse Modeling in Spoken Dialogue Systems Using Semantic Dependency Graphs
This investigation proposes an approach to modeling the discourse of spoken dialogue using semantic dependency graphs. By characterizing the discourse as a sequence of speech acts, discourse modeling becomes the identification of the speech act sequence. A statistical approach is adopted to model the relations between words in the user’s utterance using the semantic dependency graphs. Dependenc...
متن کاملSpeech understanding, dialogue management and response generation in corpus-based spoken dialogue system
This paper presents construction of a spoken dialogue system using a large-scale spoken dialogue corpus with intention tags. In this system, all of main components, such as speech understanding, dialogue management, and response generation, are constructed with corpus-based methods. An evaluation experiment using a test set has shown that the performance of the corpus-based dialogue system is i...
متن کاملA dialogue management system using a corpus-based framework and a dynamic dialogue transition model
We propose a novel practical dialogue management system that satisfies the requirements of robust dialogue management, efficient domain knowledge construction, and flexible architecture for maintenance and extensibility. The proposed system uses a corpus-based framework and a dynamic dialogue transition network model, which work in a cooperative and complementary manner. The former supports aut...
متن کاملProcess Discovery for Evaluating Dialogue Strategies
We develop a diagnostic method for detecting problematic dialogue strategies in spoken dialogue systems (SDS). Our tool classifies relations between semantically-pragmatically labelled system prompts and user inputs in a Dutch SDS corpus, and constructs a dependency/frequency graph that provides rich information about the underlying interaction process. The graph can be directly analysed to spe...
