A Hybrid Dialogue Management Approach for a Flight Spoken Dialogue System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The finite-state based dialogue management approaches are powerful for simple tasks with strict and reliable dialogue control, while the plan-based dialogue management approaches are feasible for tasks with several topics or one complex topic. However, neither one is good enough for the dialogue control throughout in a dialogue task providing flight information inquiry and ticket reservation service. To solve this problem, a hybrid dialogue management approach is proposed, in which the plan-based Topic Forest structure is combined with some finite-state control, so that a proper management element can function in different dialogue

متن کاملA Policy-switching learning approach for adaptive spoken dialogue agents
The reinforcement learning paradigm has been adopted for inferring optimized and adaptive spoken dialogue agents. Such agents are typically learnt and tested without combining competing agents that may yield better performance at some points in the conversation. This paper presents an approach that learns dialogue behaviour from competing agents—switching from one policy to another competing on...
متن کاملPreparing for Evaluation of a Flight Spoken Dialogue System
Evaluation is needed to test how well the dialogue system works and is helpful for the developer to find some problems and to make the system more satisfactory. We have developed a flight spoken dialogue system and decide to carry out a thorough evaluation. Five dialogue scenarios with brief task descriptions are carefully designed. A questionnaire for user satisfaction is ready, which will be ...
متن کاملUser and Noise Adaptive Dialogue Management Using Hybrid System Actions
In recent years reinforcement-learning-based approaches have been widely used for management policy optimization in spoken dialogue systems (SDS). A dialogue management policy is a mapping from dialogue states to system actions, i.e. given the state of the dialogue the dialogue policy determines the next action to be performed by the dialogue manager. So-far policy optimization primarily focuse...
