Language Models for Name Recognition in Spanish Spoken Dialogue Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current advances on dialogue system require the development of language models for automatic speech recognition that are not only domain or task specific but also sub-task specific (e.g. name, age or price recognition). This paper presents a method for the creation of language models for name recognition at the greeting stage of a conversation in spoken Spanish. In particular, we focus on the introductory phrases (e.g., mi nombre es John/my name is John). The method relies in the construction of a corpus for names, and we study two variants; in one names are uniformly distributed; in the other, names are represented in a manner consistent with their frequency in web-searches.

Evaluating spoken dialogue models under the interactive pattern recognition framework
The new Interactive Pattern Recognition (IPR) framework has been proposed to deal with human-machine interaction. In this context a new formulation has been recently defined to represent a Spoken Dialogue System as an IPR problem. In this work this formulation is applied to define graphical models that deal with Spoken Dialogue Systems. The definition of both a Dialogue Manager and a User Model...
متن کاملStatistical framework for a Spanish spoken dialogue corpus
Dialogue systems are one of the most interesting applications of speech and language technologies. There have recently been some attempts to build dialogue systems in Spanish, and some corpora have been acquired and annotated. Using these corpora, statistical machine learning methods can be applied to try to solve problems in spoken dialogue systems. In this paper, two statistical models based ...

This paper proposes a new technique to enhance the performance of spoken dialogue systems which presents one novel contribution: the automatic correction of some ASR errors by using language models dependent on dialogue states, in conjunction with grammatical rules. These models are optimally selected by computing similarity scores between patterns obtained from uttered sentences and patterns l...

متن کاملContextual Semantic Processing for a Spanish Dialogue System Using Markov Logic
Semantic processing is vital in a dialogue system for the language understanding stage. Recent approaches of semantic processing rely on machine learning methods to perform the task. These are more robust to errors from the speech recogniser. Although these approaches are built on the domain of the dialogue system they do not incorporate contextual information available in the dialogue system. ...
