Open-source Software for Developing Anthropomorphic Spoken Dialog Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
An architecture for highly-interactive human-like spoken-dialog agent is discussed in this paper. In order to easily integrate the modules of different characteristics including speech recognizer, speech synthesizer, facial-image synthesizer and dialog controller, each module is modeled as a virtual machine that has a simple common interface and is connected to each other through a broker (communication manager). The agent system under development is supported by the IPA and it will be publicly available as a software toolkit this year.

متن کاملA Platform for Human-Robot Dialog Systems Research
We present our position on developing an open source platform for human-robot dialog research in home healthcare. We discuss the need for perceptive, emotive, spoken-dialog robotic companions, describe an architecture for this research, and call on others to participate in making it a successful community resource.
متن کاملTowards a Distributed Open-Source Spoken Dialog System Following Industry Standards
This paper outlines an architecture of a distributed spoken dialog system based exclusively on open-source components. These components comprise telephony, speech recognition, voice browser, and speech synthesis, all of which are to incorporate industrial standards as recommended by the W3C. Our work demonstrates that realworld spoken dialog systems can be built without use of proprietary compo...
متن کاملConquestâ - An Open-Source Dialog System for Conferences
We describe ConQuest, an open-source, reusable spoken dialog system that provides technical program information during conferences. The system uses a transparent, modular and open infrastructure, and aims to enable applied research in spoken language interfaces. The conference domain is a good platform for applied research since it permits periodical redeployments and evaluations with a real us...
