In this paper, we present an approach to spoken dialog management based on the use of a
Stochastic Finite-State Transducer estimated from a dialog corpus. The states of the …

This paper presents a new approach for dynamically increasing the coverage of a Statistical
Dialog Manager. A Stochastic Finite-State Transducer for dialog management is estimated …

We present a new methodology of user simulation applied to the evaluation and refinement
of stochastic dialog systems. Common weaknesses of these systems are the scarceness of …

This paper reviews the development of speech technologies for Iberian Romance
languages (Catalan, Galician, Spanish and Portuguese) with a special emphasis on the …

In this paper, we present an approach for the development of spoken dialog systems based
on the statistical modelization of the dialog manager. This work focuses on three points: the …

The design and development of spoken interaction systems has been a thoroughly studied
research scope for the last decades. The aim is to obtain systems with the ability to interact …

El objetivo principal de la tesis que se presenta es el estudio y desarrollo de diferentes
metodologías para la gestión del diálogo en sistemas de diálogo hablado. El principal reto …

Since the design and acquisition of a new dialog corpus is a complex task, new methods to
facilitate this task are necessary. In this paper, we present a methodology to make use of our …

In this paper, we present a statistical approach for dialog management within the framework
of two different domains. The dialog model, that is automatically learned from a data corpus …

We present in this paper a prototype of a spoken dialog system. One of the characteristics of
this system is that most of the modules (speech recognition, understanding and dialog …
