In this paper, we present POSSDM (POSTECH Situation-Based Dialogue Manager) for a spoken dialogue system using a new example and situation-based dialogue management technique for effective generation of appropriate system responses. Spoken dialogue system should generate cooperative responses to smoothly control dialogue flow with the users. We introduce a new dialogue management technique incorporating dialogue examples and situation-based rules for EPG (Electronic Program Guide) domain. For the system response inference, we automatically construct and index a dialogue example database from dialogue corpus, and the best dialogue example is retrieved for a proper system response with the query from a dialogue situation including a current user utterance, dialogue act, and discourse history. When dialogue corpus is not enough to cover the domain, we also apply manually constructed situation-based rules mainly for meta-level dialogue management.

음성인식의 연구 대상은 낭독음성에서 대화음성으로 발전해가고 있다. 이를 위해서는 대량의 대화코퍼스가 필요하다. 그러나 아직 충분한 양의 대화코퍼스가 구축되어 있지 못하며 코퍼스의 주석 정보 또한 복잡하고 다양하게 표현하고 있어 효율적인 활용이 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TEI를 기반으로 하여 대화 영역을 텔레뱅킹으로 설정하고 대화코퍼스를 구축하여 구축된 대화코퍼스의 주석 정보를 XML(extensible Markup Language)로 표준화할 수 있도록 DTD (Document Type Definition) 정의하고 저장 시스템을 설계하였다.

In many cases, a dialogue system can't extract the correct analysis information of a user's spoken utterance, because of its own ungrammatical components. Therefore, in order to perform a correct before it performs the syntactic processing. In this paper, we use a real dialogue corpus and classify these ungrammatical errors as 4 categories : phonological, syntactic, semantic errors that consist of speech reparis and inversions, and propose an algorithm to detect and correct the errors. In short, this paper proposes a method to detect and correct the speech repairs and inversions that are classified as the phonological and syntactic errors to implement a robust dialogue system. And, through the test of real dialogue data, this paper shows an efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

현대사회에서는 다양한 방법, 통로로 자신들의 의견을 표현하고 또한 감정들을 표출한다. 이렇게 표출된 다양한 문장 및 감정들을 통해 각 연령별로 어떤 문제를 가지고 있는지, 무슨 상황에 놓여있는지 등을 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이렇게 모여진 감성대화 말뭉치를 이용해 청소년들이 문장에서 추출한 단어들과 감정, 상황과 어떠한 연관성을 보이는지 확인해보고자 연구를 진행하였다. 청소년들이 남성의 경우 학교폭력 및 따돌림과 관련한 문제, 여성의 경우 가족관계와 관련한 문제와 연관성이 크다는 것을 확인하였다.

The role of dialogue manager is to select proper actions based on observed environment and inferred user intention. This paper presents stochastic model for dialogue manager based on Markov decision process. To build a mixed initiative dialogue manager, we used accumulated user utterance, previous act of dialogue manager, and domain dependent knowledge as the input to the MDP. We also used dialogue corpus to train the automatically optimized policy of MDP with reinforcement learning algorithm. The states which have unique and intuitive actions were removed from the design of MDP by using the domain knowledge. The design of dialogue manager included the usage of natural language understanding and response generator to build short message based remote control of home networked appliances.

지능형 음성 대화 인터페이스 구현에 있어 핵심어의 의미표지는 사용자 의도 파악을 위한 중요한 요소이다. 대화시스템은 사용자 발화의 의도를 파악하기 위해 핵심어와 그 의미표지를 이용하여 발화의 의도를 결정한다. 하나의 핵심어는 여러 개의 의미표지를 가질 수 있는 중의성을 지닌다. 이러한 중의성을 지닌 핵심어를 사용자의 의도와 일치하는 의미표지로 결정하는 것은 단어 의미 분별 문제와 유사하다. 우리는 전사된 대화 말뭉치의 약 23%를 수동으로 의미를 부착하여 핵심어에 대한 의미표지 사전, 유의어 사전, 문맥벡터 사전을 먼저 구축한 후, 나머지 77% 대화 말뭉치에 존재하는 핵심어의 의미를 자동으로 부착한다. 중의성을 가진 핵심어는 문맥벡터 사전으로부터 문맥 벡터 유사도를 계산하여 의미를 결정한다. 핵심어가 미등록어인 경우에는 유의어 사전을 이용하여 가장 유사한 핵심어를 찾아 그 핵심어의 의미를 부착한다. 중의성을 가진 고빈도 핵심어 3개와 저빈도 핵심어 3개를 말뭉치에서 선정하여 제안 시스템의 성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 수동으로 구축한 말뭉치를 사용하였을 때 약 54.4%의 정확도를 얻었고, 반자동으로 확장한 말뭉치를 사용하였을 때 약 50.0%의 정확도를 얻었다.

Spoken dialog system development includes many laborious and inefficient tasks. Since there are many components such as speech recognition, language understanding, dialog management and knowledge management in a spoken dialog system, a developer should take an effort to edit corpus and train each model separately. To reduce a cost for editing corpus and training each model, we need more systematic and efficient working environment. For the working environment, we propose DialogStudio as a spoken dialog system workbench.

A speaker's intentions can be represented by domain actions (domain-independent speech act and domain-dependent concept sequence pairs). Therefore, it is essential that domain actions be determined when implementing dialogue systems because a dialogue system should determine users' intentions from their utterances and should create counterpart intentions to the users' intentions. In this paper, a neural network model is proposed for classifying a user's domain actions and planning a system's domain actions. An integrated neural network model is proposed for simultaneously determining user and system domain actions using the same framework. The proposed model performed better than previous non-integrated models in an experiment using a goal-oriented dialogue corpus. This result shows that the proposed integration method contributes to improving domain action determination performance.

This research examines Japanese non-native speakers' (JNNS) modal auxiliary verb use from two different perspectives: frequency of use and preferences for modalities. Additionally, error analysis is carried out to identify errors in modal use common among JNNSs. Their modal use is compared to that of English native speakers within a spoken dialogue corpus which is part of the International Corpus Network of Asian Learners' English. Research findings show at a statistically significant level that when compared to native speakers, JNNSs underuse past forms of modals and infrequently convey epistemic modality, indicating the possibility that JNNSs fail to express their opinions or thoughts indirectly when needed or to convey politeness appropriately. Error analysis identifies the following three types of common errors: (1) the use of incorrect tenses of modal verb phrases, (2) the use of inflected verb forms after modals, and (3) the non-use of main verbs after modals. The first type of error is largely because JNNSs do not master how to express past meanings of modals. The second and third types of errors seem to be due to first language transfer into second language acquisition and JNNSs' overgeneralization of the subject-verb agreement rules to modals respectively.
