A Grammar Formalism for Specifying ISU-Based Dialogue Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe how to give a full specification of an ISU-based dialogue system as a grammar. For this we use Grammatical Framework (GF), which separates grammars into abstract and concrete syntax. All components necessary for a complete GoDiS dialogue system are specified in the abstract syntax, while the linguistic details are defined in the concrete syntax. Since GF is a multilingual grammar formalism, it is straightforward to extend the dialogue system to several languages.

متن کاملA Model for Multi-modal Dialogue System Output Applied to an Animated Talking Head
We present a formalism for specifying verbal and non-verbal output from a multi-modal dialogue system. The output specification is XML-based and provides information about communicative functions of the output, without detailing the realisation of these functions. The aim is to let dialogue systems generate the same output for a wide variety of output devices and modalities. The formalism was d...
متن کاملContext-sensitive speech recognition in ISU dialogue systems: results for the grammar switching approach
This research explores how to employ context-sensitive speech recognition in a general way, in the InformationState Update (ISU) approach to dialogue management. The central idea is that different contexts, or dialogue “Information States”, can be associated with different language models for speech recognition. In this paper a “grammar switching” approach is presented, based on “active” dialog...
متن کاملHybrid Planning and Realization of Coherent Utterances for Multimodal Natural Language Dialogue Systems
The output of multimodal human-computer interfaces is what this thesis is concerned with. Rather than hard-coding graphical and spoken representations, methods are introduced that plan and realize coherent output, appropriate to the situation and the device. The generation system expects a modeand language-independent representation, as it can be supplied by the dialogue management component of...
