Speech Recognition Dialog Management

InactiveUS20090018829A1Increase flexibilityEasy and faster and more productive to interactSpeech recognitionNatural language processingDialog management
Described is a speech recognition dialog management system that allows more open-ended conversations between virtual agents and people than are possible using just agent-directed dialogs. The system uses both novel dialog context switching and learning algorithms based on spoken interactions with people. The context switching is performed through processing multiple dialog goals in a last-in-first-out (LIFO) pattern. The recognition accuracy for these new flexible conversations is improved through automated learning from processing errors and addition of new grammars.

Method and apparatus for performing dialog management in a computer conversational interface

A dialog management system functions to manage the dialog between a user of a computer system and one or more speech enabled software applications. The user provides spoken input to a microphone connected to the computer system, and hears responses from one or more applications through a speaker connected to the computer system. The dialog management system includes a dialog manager, a turn manager, a speak queue, dialog contexts, and dialog state. The dialog manager provides top-level control of the dialog and stores responses based on the user's spoken input in a speak queue for later output to the user. The turn manager controls delivery of the responses to the user based on the dialog context and the dialog state, to provide a polite dialog with the user that enables the user to be in control of the dialog. The dialog context provides information about each dialog. The dialog state provides information about whose turn it is (computer or user) to speak.

Translating apparatus and method, and recording medium used therewith

A translating apparatus includes a speech recognition unit, a machine translation unit, a speech synthesizing unit, and a dialog management unit. The speech recognition unit recognizes input speech, and supplies the result of the speech recognition to the machine translation unit. The machine translation unit translates the result of the speech recognition. When a Japanese-speaking user and an English-speaking user speak to each other, the dialog management unit stores a history of dialogs, and determines based on the dialog history and prestored knowledge whether the result of the translation by the machine translation unit is unnatural compared with the flow of the dialog. When the result of the translation is unnatural, the dialog management unit outputs, to the machine translation unit, information representing the unnatural result. This controls the machine translation unit to perform translation again.

Dialog management system and dialog management method

An intention estimated-weight determination processor 9 determines an intention estimated weight on the basis of an intention hierarchical graphic data 8 and an activated intention. A transfer node determination processor 10 determines an intention to be newly activated through transition, after correcting an intention estimation result according to the intention estimated weight. A dialog turn generator 13 generates a turn of dialog from the activated intention. A dialog management unit 2 controls, when a new input is provided due to the turn of dialog, at least one process among processes performed by an intention estimation processor 7, the intention estimated-weight determination processor 9, the transition node determination processor 10 and the dialog turn generator 13, followed by repeating that controlling, to thereby finally execute a setup command.

Multi-level confidence measures for task modeling and its application to task-oriented multi-modal dialog management

A method and system (102) is provided for a multi-modal task-oriented dialog management implemented on a computer-based system. The system (102) maximizes the probability of successful task completion after a task is requested (302). Every task is associated with a task model comprising recipes, acts, parameters and modalities. Confidence measures are calculated at various levels for each task. The confidence measures represent the probability of success of the action depending on the user preferences. The most suitable recipe, act, parameter and modality are selected at runtime using the provided confidence measures (304) to maximize the probability of task completion. After each act, confidence measures are modified (312) depending on the user response, and the next suitable act is accordingly selected. Optionally, a post evaluation module (PEM) is provided for monitoring the user response and modifying the formulation for the confidence measures calculation.
