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 ...
Speech enabled interfaces and spoken dialog systems are mostly based on statistical speech and language processing modules. Their behavior is therefore not deterministic and hardl...
Speech act classification remains one of the challenges in natural language processing. This paper evaluates a classification system that assigns one of twelve dialog acts to an u...
In this paper, we describe a new methodology to develop mixed-initiative spoken dialog systems, which is based on the extensive use of simulations to accelerate the development pr...
Spoken corpora provide a critical resource for research, development and evaluation of spoken dialog systems. This paper describes the telephone spoken dialog corpus for Polish cr...
