: For most applications, data-intensive applications in particular, dialog modeling makes little sense without a domain model. Since domain models usually are developed and used ou...
Based on a set of characteristics for diffusion of technology, we question the current state and direction of MBUID. We have suggest a set of requirements based on this set of cha...
We review key challenges of developing spoken dialog systems that can engage in interactions with one or multiple participants in relatively unconstrained environments. We outline...
We present a new methodology of user simulation applied to the evaluation and refinement of stochastic dialog systems. Common weaknesses of these systems are the scarceness of the...
In affective dialog simulation, recognition and interpretation of the affective state of the user should be integrated with display of empathy by the system and with dialog plannin...
