A Compact Architecture for Dialogue Management Based on Scripts and Meta-Outputs
<|reference_start|>A Compact Architecture for Dialogue Management Based on Scripts and Meta-Outputs: We describe an architecture for spoken dialogue interfaces to semi-autonomous systems that transforms speech signals through successive representations of linguistic, dialogue, and domain knowledge. Each step produces an output, and a meta-output describing the transformation, with an executable program in a simple scripting language as the final result. The output/meta-output distinction permits perspicuous treatment of diverse tasks such as resolving pronouns, correcting user misconceptions, and optimizing scripts.<|reference_end|>
