In this paper, we describe a new multi-purpose audio-visual database on the context of speech interfaces for controlling household electronic devices. The database comprises speec...
In this paper, we propose a topic detection method using a dialogue history for selecting a scene in the automatic interpretation system (Ikeda et al., 2002). The method uses a k-...
Spoken dialogue managers have benefited from using stochastic planners such as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). However, so far, MDPs do not handle well noisy and ambiguous speec...
A central problem in Interactive Question Answering (IQA) is how to answer Follow-Up Questions (FU Qs), possibly by taking advantage of information from the dialogue context. We a...
In spoken dialogue systems, Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) provide a formal framework for making dialogue management decisions under uncertainty, but effi...
