The dialog module of the speech recognition and dialog system EVAR

چکیده
This article describes the dialog module of EVAR. The dialog is seen as a sequence of dialog acts uttered by the system and the user. From a corpus of real human-human dialogs a model was extracted. The model covers all sequences of dialog acts observed in the corpus. Each dialog act is modelled as a set of pragmatic, semantic and syntactic concepts. The properties of the concepts and the current dialog state are used to identify the actual dialog act. Each user utterance is interpreted by the system and the system reacts with the appropriate dialog act. After the user has deened his request completly, the system starts a database query and nally generates a synthesized natural language answer. The answer generation is realised with sentence masks, where the information from the database enquiry is lled in at the appropriate slots. A dialog memory which allows the interpretation of elliptical sentences and proforms is updated after each utterance.

Prosodic Dialog Control in EVARH
The domain of the speech recognition and dialog system EVAR is train time table inquiry. We observed that in real human{human dialogs when the oocer transmits the information, the customer very often interrupts. Many of these interruptions are just repetitions of the time of day given by the oocer. The functional role of these interruptions is determined by prosodic cues only. An important resu...

متن کاملA Speech Understanding and Dialog System with a Homogeneous Linguistic Knowledge Base
Absfract-This article presents the speech understanding and dialog system EVAR. All levels of linguistic knowledge are used both to control the analysis process and for the interpretation of an utterance. All kinds of knowledge are integrated in a homogeneous knowledge base. The control algorithm used for the analysis is defined within the representation scheme and does not depend on the applic...
