We point out several problems in scalingup statistical approaches to spoken dialogue systems to enable them to deal with complex but natural user goals, such as disjunctive and ne...
In spoken dialogue systems, Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) provide a formal framework for making dialogue management decisions under uncertainty, but effi...
The goal of this paper is to present a computational framework that enables us to generate elementary speech act sequences in a dialogue between an electronic assistant and a compu...
When building a new spoken dialogue application, large amounts of domain specific data are required. This paper addresses the issue of generating in-domain training data when litt...
Lattice graphs are used as underlying data structures in many statistical processing systems, including natural language processing. Lattices compactly represent multiple possible...
