We provide a detailed look on the functioning of the OwlSpeak Spoken Dialogue Manager, which is part of the EU-funded project ATRACO. OwlSpeak interprets Spoken Dialogue Ontologies and on this basis generates VoiceXML dialogue snippets. The dialogue snippets can be interpreted by all speech servers that provide VoiceXML support and therefore make the dialogue management independent from the hos...

We have developed an educational environment for a modular spoken dialogue system. The aim of the environment is to provide students, with different backgrounds, means to understand the behaviour of spoken dialogue systems. Focus in this paper is on dialogue and dialogue management. The dialogue is recorded in a dialogue tree whose nodes are dialogue objects. The dialogue objects model the cons...

Formal models of dialogue systems and related notions (dialogue, dialogue strategy, evaluation function, dialogue communication, goal of dialogue) are introduced in the paper. A model of the information retrieval dialogue systems based on the dialogue strategies described by the Mealy-type automata and information systems (in the sense of Pawlak) is introduced and discussed.

We aim to build dialogue agents that optimize the dialogue strategy, specifically through learning the dialogue model components from dialogue data. In this paper, we describe our current research on automatically learning dialogue strategies in the healthcare domain. We go through our systematic approach of learning dialogue model components from data, specifically user intents and the user mo...

In this demonstration, we present POSSDM (POSTECH Situation based Dialogue Manager) for a spoken dialogue system using a new example and situation based dialogue management techniques for effective generation of appropriate system responses. Spoken dialogue system should generate cooperative responses to smoothly lead the dialogue with users. We introduce a new dialogue management technique inc...

This paper introduces a new approach to human-machine dialogue. This approach is based on the idea that dialogue can be seen as a form of knowledge base editing. In a dialogue, it is the dialogue history which is being edited. We propose some constraints on editing dialogue histories which distinguish dialogue from knowledge base editing in general. We claim that our proposal yields both intere...
