چکیده

Statistical Spoken Dialogue Systems have been around for many years. However, access to these systems has always been difficult as there is still no publicly available end-to-end system implementation. To alleviate this, we present PyDial, an opensource end-to-end statistical spoken dialogue system toolkit which provides implementations of statistical approaches for all dialogue system modules. Moreover, it has been extended to provide multidomain conversational functionality. It offers easy configuration, easy extensibility, and domain-independent implementations of the respective dialogue system modules. The toolkit is available for download under the Apache 2.0 license.

Bayes By Backprop Neural Networks for Dialogue Management

In dialogue management for statistical spoken dialogue systems, an agent learns a policy that maps a belief state to an action for the system to perform. Efficient exploration is key to successful dialogue policy estimation. Current deep reinforcement learning methods are very promising but rely on ε-greedy exploration, which is not as sample efficient as methods that use uncertainty estimates,...

OpenDial: A Toolkit for Developing Spoken Dialogue Systems with Probabilistic Rules

We present a new release of OpenDial, an open-source toolkit for building and evaluating spoken dialogue systems. The toolkit relies on an information-state architecture where the dialogue state is represented as a Bayesian network and acts as a shared memory for all system modules. The domain models are specified via probabilistic rules encoded in XML. OpenDial has been deployed in several app...

Developing Spoken Dialogue Systems with the OpenDial toolkit

We present OpenDial1, an open-source toolkit for building and evaluating dialogue systems. The toolkit is centered on a dialogue state expressed as a Bayesian network and acting as a shared memory for the system modules. The domain models are specified via probabilistic rules encoded in a simple XML format. The toolkit has been deployed in several applications domains such as human–robot intera...

Rapidly developing spoken Chinese dialogue systems with the d-ear SDS SDK

Developing a spoken dialog system is typically timeconsuming, and must often be accomplished using difficult-tolearn professional technologies. Most existing toolkits use statistical semantic parsers and model a dialogue interaction as a finite-state network. However, for developing flexible spoken Chinese dialogue systems, these toolkits have several problems. A new toolkit named the d-Ear SDS...

A Benchmarking Environment for Reinforcement Learning Based Task Oriented Dialogue Management

Dialogue assistants are rapidly becoming an indispensable daily aid. To avoid the significant effort needed to hand-craft the required dialogue flow, the Dialogue Management (DM) module can be cast as a continuous Markov Decision Process (MDP) and trained through Reinforcement Learning (RL). Several RL models have been investigated over recent years. However, the lack of a common benchmarking f...
