A Factored Discriminative Spoken Language Understanding for Spoken Dialogue Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a factored discriminative spoken language understanding method suitable for real-time parsing of recognised speech. It is based on a set of logistic regression classifiers, which are used to map input utterances into dialogue acts. The proposed method is evaluated on a corpus of spoken utterances from the Public Transport Information (PTI) domain. In PTI, users can interact with a dialogue system on the phone to find intraand inter-city public transport connections and ask for weather forecast in a desired city. The results show that in adverse speech recognition conditions, the statistical parser yields significantly better results compared to the baseline well-tuned handcrafted parser.

Robust numeric recognition in spoken language dialogue
This paper addresses the problem of automatic numeric recognition and understanding in spoken language dialogue. We show that accurate numeric understanding in ̄uent unconstrained speech demands maintaining robustness at several dierent levels of system design, including acoustic, language, understanding and dialogue. We describe a robust system for numeric recognition and present algorithms f...

متن کاملSpoken language understanding in a Chinese spoken dialogue system engine
In this paper, we introduce the method of spoken language understanding in the Linguistic Processor of a Chinese Spoken Dialogue System Engine. The Linguistic Processor is conceived for the development of simple, robust nature language interfaces to different applications. It is designed for extracting meaning representation from Chinese spoken utterances. Its strategy is to apply grammatical c...
متن کاملCross-lingual spoken language understanding from unaligned data using discriminative classification models and machine translation
This paper investigates several approaches to bootstrapping a new spoken language understanding (SLU) component in a target language given a large dataset of semantically-annotated utterances in some other source language. The aim is to reduce the cost associated with porting a spoken dialogue system from one language to another by minimising the amount of data required in the target language. ...
