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...
Previous studies evaluate simulated dialog corpora using evaluation measures which can be automatically extracted from the dialog systems' logs. However, the validity of thes...
Intelligent planning algorithms such as the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) have succeeded in dialog management applications [10, 11, 12] because of their rob...
