Generic Dialogue Modeling for Multi-application Dialogue Systems

We present a novel approach to developing interfaces for multi-application dialogue systems. The targeted interfaces allow transparent switching between a large number of applications within one system. The approach, based on the Rapid Dialogue Prototyping Methodology (RDPM) and the Vector Space model techniques from Information Retrieval, is composed of three main steps: (1) producing finalized dialogue models for applications using the RDPM, (2) designing an application interaction hierarchy, and (3) navigating between the applications based on the user’s application of interest.
