Dialogue Management

by Sebastian Varges, Silvia Quarteroni, Alexei V. Ivanov, Pierluigi Roberti
"... Over several years, we have developed an approach to spoken dialogue systems that includes rule-based and trainable dialogue managers, spoken language understanding and generation modules, and a comprehensive dialogue system architecture. We present a Reinforcement Learning-based dialogue system tha ..."

Issue-based Dialogue Management

by Staffan Larsson, Staffan Larsson, Publically Defended In Lilla Hörsalen , 2002
"... The purpose of studying dialogue modelling and dialogue management is to provide models allowing us to explore how language, and especially spoken dialogue, is used in different activities. This thesis shows how issues (modelled semantically as questions) in general can be used as a basis for dialog ..."

Cognitive Dialogue Management

by Vincenzo Pallotta
"... Abstract. Cognitive Dialogue Management is a novel approach to Dialogue Management which proposes a novel architecture for building up advanced interactive interfaces in natural language to computers, that are both flexible and robust. The architecture, based on dialogue, results from the integratio ..."

Multi-Policy Dialogue Management

by Pierre Lison
"... We present a new approach to dialogue management based on the use of multiple, interconnected policies. Instead of capturing the complexity of the interaction in a single large policy, the dialogue manager operates with a collection of small local policies combined concurrently and hierarchically. T ..."

Promoting Portability In Dialogue Management

by Joseph Polifroni, Grace Chung - PROC. ICSLP , 2002
"... We have recently begun an effort to develop a domain-independent dialogue manager that can be used as part of a mixed-initiative spoken dialogue system to construct more complex systems without modifying underlying code. Inside a generic dialogue manager, the developer would select from a suite of s ..."

Self-Organizing Dialogue Management

by Kristiina Jokinen, Topi Hurtig, Kevin Hynn, Kari Kanto, Mauri Kaipainen, Antti Kerminen - In Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Neural Networks , 2001
"... In this paper, we present our approach to dialogue management in the spoken dialogue system that is being developed within the project Interact. Compared to traditional approaches, our dialogue manager will support the system's adaptivity and flexibility with the help of two design decisions: a ..."

Units Of Dialogue Management: An Example

by Paul Heisterkamp , Scott McGlashan - PROCEEDINGS OF ICSLP’96 , 1996
"... This paper concerns dialogue management for spoken dialogue. We show why we do not use speech-act related units or intentions. We base our approach on belief states of the system. Layered units are used to construct a pragmatic interpretation of these states and to determine the dialogue continuatio ..."

Partially observable markov decision processes with continuous observations for dialogue management

by Jason D. Williams - Computer Speech and Language , 2005
"... This work shows how a dialogue model can be represented as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) with observations composed of a discrete and continuous component. The continuous component enables the model to directly incorporate a confidence score for automated planning. Using a t ..."
Abstract - Cited by 217 (52 self) - Add to MetaCart
testbed simulated dialogue management problem, we show how recent optimization techniques are able to find a policy for this continuous POMDP which outperforms a traditional MDP approach. Further, we present a method for automatically improving handcrafted dialogue managers by incorporating POMDP belief

Multidimensional dialogue management

by Simon Keizer, Harry Bunt - In: Proceedings 7 th SIGdial Workshop on Discourse and Dialogue , 2006
"... In this paper we present an approach to dialogue management that supports the generation of multifunctional utterances. It is based on the multidimensional dialogue act taxonomy and associated context model as developed in Dynamic Interpretation Theory (DIT). The multidimensional organisation of the ..."
