Interpretation of Partial Utterances in Virtual Human Dialogue Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dialogue systems typically follow a rigid pace of interaction where the system waits until the user has finished speaking before producing a response. Interpreting user utterances before they are completed allows a system to display more sophisticated conversational behavior, such as rapid turn-taking and appropriate use of backchannels and interruptions. We demonstrate a natural language understanding approach for partial utterances, and its use in a virtual human dialogue system that can often complete a user’s utterances in real time.

Robust interpretation for spoken dialogue systems
Spoken dialogue systems must allow for robust and efcient interpretation of user utterances. This can be achieved by using shallow and partial interpretation. Partial interpretation is feasible together with a dialogue manager which provides information to guide the analysis. In this paper we present results on developing interfaces for information retrieval applications utilizing partial and i...

This paper 1 describes work in progress concerning the semantic and pragmatic interpretation of utterances in human-computer natural language information dialogues, as developed in the ELTA project at Tilburg University. This project aims at developing and applying an integrated approach to semantic and pragmatic interpretation of dialogue utterances, where the application is sought in the form...
متن کاملTowards Natural Language Understanding of Partial Speech Recognition Results in Dialogue Systems
We investigate natural language understanding of partial speech recognition results to equip a dialogue system with incremental language processing capabilities for more realistic human-computer conversations. We show that relatively high accuracy can be achieved in understanding of spontaneous utterances before utterances are completed.
متن کاملSocial talk capabilities for dialogue systems
Small talk capabilities are an important but very challenging extension to dialogue systems. Small talk (or “social talk”) refers to a kind of conversation, which does not focus on the exchange of information, but on the negotiation of social roles and situations. Small talk is often not as limited in topics and content as so-called “task talk”, meaning conversations regarding a specific task o...
متن کاملLinguistic phrase spotting in a simple application spoken dialogue system
Spoken dialogue systems have to cope with well known problems of spontaneous speech such as ungrammaticalities, hesitations or corrections. Besides, unrestricted speech poses the problem of paraphrasing, rising the number of utterances exceeding the linguistic coverage of the system. Concerning the linguistic processing of spontaneous speech, partial parsing represents a good method to achieve ...
