Comparing User Simulation Models For Dialog Strategy Learning
This paper explores what kind of user simulation model is suitable for developing a training corpus for using Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) to automatically learn dialog strate...

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...

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...

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...

Setting Up User Action Probabilities in User Simulations for Dialog System Development
User simulations are shown to be useful in spoken dialog system development. Since most current user simulations deploy probability models to mimic human user behaviors, how to se...
