Joint Learning of Dialog Act Segmentation and Recognition in Spoken Dialog Using Neural Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dialog act segmentation and recognition are basic natural language understanding tasks in spoken dialog systems. This paper investigates a unified architecture for these two tasks, which aims to improve the model’s performance on both of the tasks. Compared with past joint models, the proposed architecture can (1) incorporate contextual information in dialog act recognition, and (2) integrate models for tasks of different levels as a whole, i.e. dialog act segmentation on the word level and dialog act recognition on the segment level. Experimental results show that the joint training system outperforms the simple cascading system and the joint coding system on both dialog act segmentation and recognition tasks.

Learning dialog act processing
In this paper we describe a new approach for learning dialog act processing. In this approach we integrate a symbolic semantic segmentation parse,: with a learning dialog act network. In order to support the unforeseeable errors and variations of spoken language we have concentrated on robust data-driven learning. This approach already compares favorably with the statistical average plansibilit...

This paper presents our novel method to encode word confusion networks, which can represent a rich hypothesis space of automatic speech recognition systems, via recurrent neural networks. We demonstrate the utility of our approach for the task of dialog state tracking in spoken dialog systems that relies on automatic speech recognition output. Encoding confusion networks outperforms encoding th...
متن کاملWord-Based Dialog State Tracking with Recurrent Neural Networks
Recently discriminative methods for tracking the state of a spoken dialog have been shown to outperform traditional generative models. This paper presents a new wordbased tracking method which maps directly from the speech recognition results to the dialog state without using an explicit semantic decoder. The method is based on a recurrent neural network structure which is capable of generalisi...
