Semantics-Enhanced Task-Oriented Dialogue Translation: A Case Study on Hotel Booking
نویسندگان
چکیده
We showcase TODAY, a semanticsenhanced task-oriented dialogue translation system, whose novelties are: (i) taskoriented named entity (NE) definition and a hybrid strategy for NE recognition and translation; and (ii) a novel grounded semantic method for dialogue understanding and task-order management. TODAY is a case-study demo which can efficiently and accurately assist customers and agents in different languages to reach an agreement in a dialogue for the hotel booking.

Feature-based summary space for stochastic dialogue modeling with hierarchical semantic frames
In a spoken dialogue system, the dialogue manager needs to make decisions in a highly noisy environment, mainly due to speech recognition and understanding errors. This work addresses this issue by proposing a framework to interface efficient probabilistic modeling for both the spoken language understanding module and the dialogue management module. First hierarchical semantic frames are inferr...
متن کاملRelevance of Unsupervised Metrics in Task-Oriented Dialogue for Evaluating Natural Language Generation
Automated metrics such as BLEU are widely used in the machine translation literature. They have also been used recently in the dialogue community for evaluating dialogue response generation. However, previous work in dialogue response generation has shown that these metrics do not correlate strongly with human judgment in the non task-oriented dialogue setting. Task-oriented dialogue responses ...
متن کاملModeling Task-Oriented Dialogue
A common tool for improving the performance quality of natural language processing systems is the use of contextual information for disambiguation. Here I describe the use of a finite state machine (FSM) to disambiguate speech acts in a machine translation system. The FSM has two layers that model, respectively, the global and local structures found in naturally-occurring conversations. The FSM...
متن کاملTwo-sided Cybermediary Platforms: The Case of Hotel.de

This paper explores the business model of a large online hotel booking platform, hotel.de, using a ca...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Use of an Advance Booking Curve in Forecasting Hotel Reservations
Although there is considerable interest in the advance bookings model as a forecasting method in the hotel industry, there has been little research analyzing the use of an advance booking curve in forecasting hotel reservations. The mainstream of advance booking models reviewed in the literature uses only the bookings-on-hand data on a certain day and ignores the previous booking data. This emp...
