Using multiple strategies to manage spoken dialogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the algorithm used by a multi-strategy dialogue manager (DM) for a speech-based dialogue system and presents the results of an evaluation of the new DM. From its different dialogue strategies the DM is capable of determining the most appropriate strategy based on a set of criteria and the corresponding algorithm. The DM can adopt a number of styles ranging from highly naturalistic mixedinitiative dialogues to rigid system-led dialogues, taking into account factors such as user experience and recognition conditions.

متن کاملTopic Switching Strategies for Spoken Dialogue Systems
One of the most important challenges researchers are facing within the field of Spoken Dialogue Systems is that life is neither domain dependent nor driven by a single task. In the recent past various methods to handle multiple tasks or topics in parallel within spoken human-human and human-computer dialogues have been investigated. In this paper we compare several task switching approaches suc...
متن کاملMathematical analysis of dialogue control strategies
In this paper we describe a quantitative relation between the e ciency of dialogue control strategies, we measure by the average number of exchanges taken during a dialogue, and the performance of a speech recognition system used in a spoken dialogue system. We consider four dialogue control strategies: (1) direct con rmation, (2) indirect con rmation, (3) multiple item answer followed by direc...
متن کاملUsing Reinforcement Learning to Create Communication Channel Management Strategies for Diverse Users
Spoken dialogue systems typically do not manage the communication channel, instead using fixed values for such features as the amplitude and speaking rate. Yet, the quality of a dialogue can be compromised if the user has difficulty understanding the system. In this proof-of-concept research, we explore using reinforcement learning (RL) to create policies that manage the communication channel t...
