A Statistical User Simulation Technique for the Improvement of a Spoken Dialog System
Abstract. In this paper, we present a statistical approach for the automatic generation of dialogs by means of a user simulator. This technique can be used to generate dialogs with...

User simulation in a stochastic dialog system
We present a new methodology of user simulation applied to the evaluation and refinement of stochastic dialog systems. Common weaknesses of these systems are the scarceness of the...

Combining user intention and error modeling for statistical dialog simulators
Statistical user simulation is an efficient and effective way to train and evaluate the performance of a (spoken) dialog system. In this paper, we design and evaluate a modular da...

Cooperative User Models in Statistical Dialog Simulators
Statistical user simulation is a promising methodology to train and evaluate the performance of (spoken) dialog systems. We work with a modular architecture for data-driven simula...

Partially observable Markov decision processes for spoken dialog systems
In a spoken dialog system, determining which action a machine should take in a given situation is a difficult problem because automatic speech recognition is unreliable and hence ...
