LINTest: a development tool for testing dialogue systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a development tool for testing dialogue systems. Testing software through the specification is important for software development in general and should be as automated as possible. For dialogue systems, the corpus can be seen as one part of the specification and the dialogue system should be tested on available corpora on each new build. The testing tool is inspired from work on agile software development methods, test driven development and unit testing, and can be used in two modes and during various phases of development.

Evaluation of an Integrated Authoring Tool for Building Advanced Question-Answering Characters
We present the evaluation of an integrated authoring tool for rapid prototyping of dialogue systems. These dialogue systems are designed to support virtual humans engaging in advanced question-answering dialogues, such as for training tactical questioning skills. The tool was designed to help non-experts, who may have little or no knowledge of linguistics or computer science, build virtual char...
متن کاملGENERALITY AND OBJECTIVITY Central Issues in Putting a Dialogue Evaluation Tool into Practical Use
This paper presents a first set of test results on the generality and objectivity of the Dialogue Evaluation Tool DET. Building on the assumption that most, if not all, dialogue design errors can be viewed as problems of non-cooperative system behaviour, DET has two closely related aspects to its use. Firstly, it may be used for the diagnostic evaluation of spoken human-machine dialogue. Follow...

Our goal is to develop tools for facilitating the authoring of conversational agents for educational applications, and in particular to enable noncomputational linguists to accomplish this task efficiently. Such a tool would benefit both learning researchers, allowing them to study dialogue in new ways, and educational technology researchers, allowing them to quickly build dialogue based help s...

This paper presents a first set of test results on the generality and transferability of an evaluation tool which can ensure the habitability and usability of spoken dialogues. Building on the assumption that most, if not all, dialogue design errors can be viewed as problems of non-cooperative system behaviour, the tool has two closely related aspects to its use. Firstly, it may be used for the...
