Today I read a paper titled “A Robust and Efficient Three-Layered Dialogue Component for a Speech-to-Speech Translation System”
The abstract is:
We present the dialogue component of the speech-to-speech translation system VERBMOBIL.
In contrast to conventional dialogue systems it mediates the dialogue while processing maximally 50% of the dialogue in depth.
Special requirements like robustness and efficiency lead to a 3-layered hybrid architecture for the dialogue module, using statistics, an automaton and a planner.
A dialogue memory is constructed incrementally..
