A Platform for Spoken Dialogue Systems

This paper describes a platform for spoken dialogue systems that during the last few years have been developed mainly at CPK. The aim of the platform is to establish an experimental environment for research in dialogue modelling, dialogue management and speech recognition, and to provide a generic dialogue system on top of which prototype applications can easily be built and assessed. The platform consists of a number of modules that constitute the core functionality of a dialogue system, and it provides a formalism (description language) for describing dialogues. Several prototype dialogue systems have been built using the platform. This demonstrates the usability of the platform.
