Wizard of Oz Method for Learning Dialog Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a framework to construct interface agents with example dialogs based on the tasks by the machine learning technology. The Wizard of Oz method is used to collect example dialogs, and a finite state machine-based model is used for the dialog model. We implemented a Web-based system which includes these functions, and empirically examined the system which treats with a guide task in Kyoto through the experimental use.

Using Wizard-of-Oz simulations to bootstrap Reinforcement - Learning based dialog management systems
This paper describes a method for “bootstrapping” a Reinforcement Learningbased dialog manager using a Wizard-ofOz trial. The state space and action set are discovered through the annotation, and an initial policy is generated using a Supervised Learning algorithm. The method is tested and shown to create an initial policy which performs significantly better and with less effort than a handcraf...
متن کاملBehavior models for learning and receptionist dialogs
We present a dialog model for identifying persons, learning person names, and associated face IDs in a receptionist dialog. The proposed model allows a decomposition of the main dialog task into separate dialog behaviors which can be implemented separately and allow a mixture of handcrafted models and dialog strategies trained with reinforcement learning. The dialog model was implemented on our...
متن کاملA Flexible Wizard of Oz Environment for Rapid Prototyping
This paper presents a freely available, and flexible Wizard of Oz environment for rapid prototyping. The system is designed to investigate the required features of a dialog system using the commonly used Wizard of Oz approach. The idea is that the time consuming design of such a tool can be avoided by using the provided architecture. The developers can easily adapt the database and extend the t...
متن کاملDesigning Language Technology Applications: A Wizard of Oz Driven Prototyping Framework
Wizard of Oz (WOZ) prototyping employs a human wizard to simulate anticipated functions of a future system. In Natural Language Processing this method is usually used to obtain early feedback on dialogue designs, to collect language corpora, or to explore interaction strategies. Yet, existing tools often require complex client-server configurations and setup routines, or suffer from compatibili...
متن کاملRapid simulation-driven reinforcement learning of multimodal dialog strategies in human-robot interaction
In this work we propose a procedure model for rapid automatic strategy learning in multimodal dialogs. Our approach is tailored for typical task-oriented human-robot dialog interactions, with no prior knowledge about the expected user and system dynamics being present. For such scenarios, we propose the use of stochastic dialog simulation for strategy learning, where the user and system error m...
