Flexible Speech Act Based Dialogue Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an application independent dialogue engine that reasons on application dependent knowledge sources to calculate predictions about how a dialogue might continue. Predictions are language independent and are translated into language dependent structures for recognition and synthesis. Further, we discuss how the predictions account for di erent kinds of dialogue, e.g., question-answer or mixed initiative.

Dialogue Act Modeling for Automatic Tagging and Recognition of Conversational Speech
We describe a statistical approach for modeling dialogue acts in conversational speech, i.e., speechact-like units such as STATEMENT,QUESTION, BACKCHANNEL,AGREEMENT, DISAGREEMENT, and APOLOGY. Our model detects and predicts dialogue acts based on lexical, collocational, and prosodic cues, as well as on the discourse coherence of the dialogue act sequence. The dialogue model is based on treating...
متن کاملFlexible speech act identification of spontaneous speech with disfluency
This paper describes an approach for flexible speech act identification of spontaneous speech with disfluency. In this approach, semantic information, syntactic structure, and fragment features of an input utterance are statistically encapsulated into a proposed sp eech act hidden Markov model (SAHMM) to characterize the speech act. To deal with the disfluency problem in a sparse training corpu...
متن کاملRobust dialogue act detection based on partial sentence tree, derivation rule, and spectral clustering algorithm
A novel approach for robust dialogue act detection in a spoken dialogue system is proposed. Shallow representation named partial sentence trees are employed to represent automatic speech recognition outputs. Parsing results of partial sentences can be decomposed into derivation rules, which turn out to be salient features for dialogue act detection. Data-driven dialogue acts are learned via an ...
متن کاملSemantic Information and Derivation Rules for Robust Dialogue Act Detection in a Spoken Dialogue System
In this study, a novel approach to robust dialogue act detection for error-prone speech recognition in a spoken dialogue system is proposed. First, partial sentence trees are proposed to represent a speech recognition output sentence. Semantic information and the derivation rules of the partial sentence trees are extracted and used to model the relationship between the dialogue acts and the der...
متن کاملSpeech act identification using an ontology-based partial pattern tree
This paper presents an ontology-based partial pattern tree to identify the speech act in a spoken dialogue system. This study first extracts the key words/concepts in an application domain using latent semantic analysis (LSA). A partial pattern tree is used to deal with the ill-formed sentence problem in a spoken dialogue system. Concept expansion based on domain ontology is adopted to improve ...
