Error Handling in the RavenClaw Dialog Management Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 properties, and discuss the deployment of this architecture in a number of spoken dialog systems spanning several domains and interaction types. Finally, we outline current research projects supported by this architecture.

متن کاملThe RavenClaw dialog management framework: Architecture and systems
In this paper, we describe RavenClaw, a plan-based, task-independent dialog management framework. RavenClaw isolates the domain-specific aspects of the dialog control logic from domain-independent conversational skills, and in the process facilitates rapid development of mixed-initiative systems operating in complex, task-oriented domains. System developers can focus exclusively on describing t...
متن کاملRavenclaw: dialog management using hierarchical task decomposition and an expectation agenda
We describe RavenClaw, a new dialog management framework developed as a successor to the Agenda [1] architecture used in the CMU Communicator. RavenClaw introduces a clear separation between task and discourse behavior specification, and allows rapid development of dialog management components for spoken dialog systems operating in complex, goal-oriented domains. The system development effort i...
متن کاملError Awareness and Recovery in Conversational Spoken Language Interfaces
One of the most important and persistent problems in the development of conversational spoken language interfaces is their lack of robustness when confronted with understanding-errors. Most of these errors stem from limitations in current speech recognition technology, and, as a result, appear across all domains and interaction types. There are two approaches towards increased robustness: preve...
متن کاملA Multi-lingual Evaluation of the vAssist Spoken Dialog System. Comparing Disco and RavenClaw
vAssist (Voice Controlled Assistive Care and Communication Services for the Home) is a European project for which several research institutes and companies have been working on the development of adapted spoken interfaces to support home care and communication services. This paper describes the spoken dialog system that has been built. Its natural language understanding module includes a novel ...
