Building a generalized platform for having dialogues is a hard problem in the topic of dialogue systems. The problem becomes still more difficult if there is the possibility of having a conversation about more than one domain at the same time. To help solving this problem, we have built a component that deals with everything related to the domains. In this paper, we describe this component, nam...

In contrast to conventional dialogue systems it...

The paper describes the design of a generation component for a spoken dialogue system. After discussing three existing models of generation, a model based on new information focus is adopted. The design uses a pipeline architecture implemented in XML and Java. XSL templates are used to give a flexible form of template-based generation.

A probabilistic approach to interpretation of natural language utterances in terms of dialogue acts is proposed. It is illustrated how using Bayesian Networks, partial information obtained from an NLP component can be combined with knowledge the agent has about the state of the dialogue and about the user, in order to find the most probable dialogue act made.

studying the dialogue properties in rigveda and avesta indicates a type of dialogue called “philosophical dialogue” that is the synonym of “nonviolence”. according to the author, the initial root of forming the dramatic dialogue is based on philosophical dialogue, i.e. a type of fluidity and flow of meaning between two sides of the relation and by such relation it will be made a new concept. th...

This paper presents the dialogue component of the speech translation system verbmobil. In particular, it describes the Dialogue Memory which has been developed to represent contextual information acquired during dialogue processing. Information is stored both chronologically, i.e. in the order of appearance (in the Sequence Memory) and conceptually (in the Thematic Structure). We show how the D...

Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...

In this paper we present the design and the implement of the language understanding component of a Chinese spoken language dialogue system EasyNav . In pursuing the coherence with the goal of understanding, we design the structure of system with speech decoding and language understanding integrated closely. Thus the language understanding component need to be restrictive besides portable. Actua...
