A probabilistic approach to person-robot dialogue

Abstract

An approach to designing dialogue systems, as applied to a robot with speech recognition capabilities, is described. One of the goals of this research is to develop probabilistic methods for dialogue systems analogous to those used in language modeling for dictation systems. These methods will use knowledge about dialogue structure, performance, syntax, and semantics to constrain the speech recognition task.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
