Using Graphical Models for an Intelligent Mixed-Initiative Dialog Management System
The main goal of dialog management is to provide all information needed to perform e. g. a SQL-query, a navigation task, etc. Two principal approaches for dialog management systems...

Pamini: A framework for assembling mixed-initiative human-robot interaction from generic interaction patterns
Dialog modeling in robotics suffers from lack of generalizability, due to the fact that the dialog is heavily influenced by the tasks the robot is able to perform. We introduce in...
