Correction Grammars for Error Handling in a Speech Dialog System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speech recognition errors are inevitable in a speech dialog system. This paper presents an error handling method based on correction grammars which recognize the correction utterances which follow a recognition error. Correction grammars are dynamically created from existing grammars and a set of correction templates. We also describe a prototype dialog system which incorporates this error handling method, and provide empirical evidence that this method can improve dialog success rate and reduce the number of dialog turns required for error recovery.

Error-correction detection and response generation in a spoken dialogue system
Speech understanding errors in spoken dialogue systems can be frustrating for users and difficult to recover from in a mixed-initiative spoken dialogue system. Handling such errors requires both detecting error conditions and adjusting the response generation strategy accordingly. In this paper, we show that different response wording choices tend to be associated with different user behaviors ...
متن کاملA comparison of confirmation styles for error handling in a speech dialog system
Speech recognition errors are inevitable in a speech dialog system. It is important to provide a dialog flow that allows the user to correct system errors and quickly return to the original dialog. This paper describes explicit, final and implicit confirmation styles that are implemented in the CAMMIA speech dialog system, and compares them from the viewpoint of usability. Our results show that...

This paper describes a language modeling and dialog management system for efficient and robust recognition of several arbitrarily ordered and inter-related components from very large datasets such as with a complete addresses specified in a single sentence with address components in their natural sequence. A new two-pass speech recognition technique based on using multiple language models with ...
متن کاملError Handling in the RavenClaw Dialog Management Framework
We describe the error handling architecture underlying the RavenClaw dialog management framework. The architecture provides a robust basis for current and future research in error detection and recovery. Several objectives were pursued in its development: task-independence, ease-ofuse, adaptability and scalability. We describe the key aspects of architectural design which confer these propertie...
