Two faces of spoken dialogue systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is intended as a basis for discussion. We propose that users may, knowingly or subconsciously, interpret the events that occur when interacting with spoken dialogue systems in more than one way. Put differently, there is more than one metaphor people may use in order to make sense of spoken human-computer dialogue. We further suggest that different metaphors may not play well together. The analysis is consistent with many observations in human-computer interaction and has implications that may be helpful to researchers and developers alike. For example, developers may want to guide users towards a metaphor of their choice and ensure that the interaction is coherent with that metaphor; researchers may need different approaches depending on the metaphor employed in the system they study; and in both cases one would need to have very good reasons to use mixed metaphors.

Submission Category: Applications, Preference: ORAL Reinforcement Learning for Spoken Dialogue Systems
Recently, a number of authors have proposed treating dialogue systems as Markov decision processes (MDPs). However, the practical application of MDP algorithms to dialogue systems faces a number of severe technical challenges. We have built a general software tool (RLDS, for Reinforcement Learning for Dialogue Systems) based on the MDP framework, and have applied it to dialogue corpora gathered...

متن کاملEmbodied Conversation: Integrating Face and Gesture into Automatic Spoken Dialogue Systems
In this chapter I’m going to discuss the issues that arise when we design automatic spoken dialogue systems that can use not only voice, but also facial and head movements and hand gestures to communicate with humans. For the most part I will concentrate on the generation side of the problem—that is, building systems that can speak, move their faces and heads and make hand gestures. As with mos...
متن کاملOn-Line Learning of a Persian Spoken Dialogue System Using Real Training Data
The first spoken dialogue system developed for the Persian language is introduced. This is a ticket reservation system with Persian ASR and NLU modules. The focus of the paper is on learning the dialogue management module. In this work, real on-line training data are used during the learning process. For on-line learning, the effect of the variations of discount factor (g) on the learning speed...
