Abstract

In this paper we describe how Java can be used to build an object-oriented dialogue manager for spoken language interactions between a user and an automated system. The approach is based on the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Communicator architecture. By creating object-based dialogue management components in Java we separate generic from domain-specific dialogue behaviour in the interests of maintainability and extensibility.

Implementing advanced spoken dialogue management in Java
Special issue on principles and practice of programming in java (PPPJ 2003)

In this article we describe how Java can be used to implement an object-based, cross-domain, mixed initiative spoken dialogue manager (DM). We describe how dialogue that crosses between several business domains can be modelled as an inheriting and ...

This paper experimentally shows that mixed-initiative dialogue is not always more efficient than non-mixed initiative dialogue in route finding tasks. Based on the dialogue model proposed in Conversation Analysis and Discourse Analysis a lá the ...

ICMI '02: Proceedings of the 4th IEEE International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces

This paper describes a new method of implementing mixed-initiative spoken dialogue systems based on parallel computing architecture. In a mixed-initiative dialogue, the user as well as the system needs to be capable of controlling the dialogue sequence. ...
