Dialogue systems are a very appealing technology with anextraordinary future. Spoken, Multilingual and MultimodalDialogues Systems: Development and Assessment addresses thegreat demand for information about the development of advanceddialogue systems combining speech with other modalities under amultilingual framework. It aims to give a systematic overview ofdialogue systems and recent advances in the practical applicationof spoken dialogue systems.
Spoken Dialogue Systems are computer-based systems developed toprovide information and carry out simple tasks using speech as theinteraction mode. Examples include travel information andreservation, weather forecast information, directory informationand product order. Multimodal Dialogue Systems aim to overcome thelimitations of spoken dialogue systems which use speech as the onlycommunication means, while Multilingual Systems allow interactionwith users that speak different languages.
* Presents a clear snapshot of the structure of a standarddialogue system, by addressing its key components in the context ofmultilingual and multimodal interaction and the assessment ofspoken, multilingual and multimodal systems
* In addition to the fundamentals of the technologies employed,the development and evaluation of these systems are described
* Highlights recent advances in the practical application ofspoken dialogue systems
This comprehensive overview is a must for graduate students andacademics in the fields of speech recognition, speech synthesis,speech processing, language, and human-computer interactiontechnolgy. It will also prove to be a valuable resource to systemdevelopers working in these areas.
