Semantic Specificity in Spoken Dialogue Requests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ambiguous or open-ended requests to a dialogue system result in more complex dialogues. We present a semantic-specificity metric to gauge this complexity for dialogue systems that access a relational database. An experiment where a simulated user makes requests to a dialogue system shows that semantic specificity correlates with dialogue length.

On the Segmentation of Requests in Spoken Language
This paper presents a theoretical approach to the characterization of requests boundaries and structure in general spoken dialogue. Emphasis is laid on the fracture between the illocutionary act of requesting (for which the term ‘request’ is kept) and the locutionary elements that carry it out (its ‘instantiation’). This approach leads to a representation of requests based on the inclusion of a...
متن کاملRoles of interjectory utterances in spoken discourse
analysis of Japanese interjectory responses in everyday dialogue. Interjectory responses (IRs) in Japanese are utterances such as hai, ee, and un, corresponding roughly to `yes' or `uh-huh' in English. They are typically used in response to yes-no questions and requests or are interjected, as feed-backs, between the interlocutor's utterances to keep the dialogue owing smoothly. Although IRs are...
متن کاملSemantic representations in spoken dialogue systems
In this paper, the requirements on semantic representations in spoken dialogue systems are discussed. It is argued that spoken dialogue needs a special treatment when it comes to natural language processing, since the phenomena that occur in spoken language are not the same as those that occur in written language. These special properties of spoken language are outlined and the different aspect...
متن کاملDetecting Inappropriate Clarification Requests in Spoken Dialogue Systems
Spoken Dialogue Systems ask for clarification when they think they have misunderstood users. Such requests may differ depending on the information the system believes it needs to clarify. However, when the error type or location is misidentified, clarification requests appear confusing or inappropriate. We describe a classifier that identifies inappropriate requests, trained on features extract...
متن کاملRapid Development Process of Spoken Dialogue Systems using Collaboratively Constructed Semantic Resources
We herein propose a method for the rapid development of a spoken dialogue system based on collaboratively constructed semantic resources and compare the proposed method with a conventional method that is based on a relational database. Previous development frameworks of spoken dialogue systems, which presuppose a relational database management system as a background application, require complex...
