Reinforcement techniques have been successfully used to maximise the expected cumulative reward of statistical dialogue systems. Typically, reinforcement learning is used to estim...
This paper presents a spoken dialogue framework that helps users in making decisions. Users often do not have a definite goal or criteria for selecting from a list of alternatives...
Given the growing complexity of tasks that spoken dialogue systems are trying to handle, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been increasingly used as a way of automatically learning ...
Spoken dialogue systems are gaining popularity with improvements in speech recognition technologies. Dialogue systems can be modeled effectively using POMDPs, achieving improvemen...
Designing the dialogue strategy of a spoken dialogue system involves many nontrivial choices. This paper presents a reinforcement learning approach for automatically optimizing di...
