On the use of finite state transducers for semantic interpretation
A spoken language understanding (SLU) system is described. It generates hypotheses of
conceptual constituents with a translation process. This process is performed by finite state …

Error handling in a stochastic dialog system through confidence measures
In this work, we present an approach to take advantage of confidence measures obtained
during the recognition and understanding processes of a dialog system, in order to guide the …

Bayes risk-based dialogue management for document retrieval system with speech interface
We propose an efficient technique of dialogue management for an information navigation
system based on a document knowledge base. The system can use ASR N-best hypotheses …

Analysis of changes in dialogue rhythm due to dialogue acts in task-oriented dialogues
N Fujiwara, T Itoh, K Araki - Text, Speech and Dialogue: 10th International …, 2007 - Springer
We consider that factors such as prosody of systems' utterances and dialogue rhythm are
important to attain a natural human-machine dialogue. However, the relations between …

Does textual feedback hinder spoken interaction in natural language?
The aim of the study was to determine the influence of textual feedback on the content and
outcome of spoken interaction with a natural language dialogue system. More specifically …
