Summary: This project aims to develop an oral human-machine interface, by way of dialogue, for a
semantically limited task (for instance: queries into a database with information regarding
ticket reservation, tourist information or first aid care, or similar tasks). The project includes:
- The acquisition of a corpus so as to study the dialogue in the task;
- A study on spontaneous speech and its modeling;
- The development of robust speech signal modeling techniques, to cope with variations due
to speaker, background and channel effects;
- The study and development of a dialogue system in a semantically restricted environment,
including the speech recognition and understanding module and the system that will
generate an oral answer;
- The development of a prototype of the dialogue system for a given task over the telephone
network;
The oral interfaces based on dialogue will allow the development of services unavailable today,
for accessing information or help or for carrying out transactions over the telephone (alternatively,
they may render current services with important performance shortcomings more efficient).
