Enabling Dialogue Management with Dynamically Created Dialogue Actions

Abstract

In order to take up the challenge of realising user-adaptive system behaviour, we present an extension for the existing OwlSpeak Dialogue Manager which enables the handling of dynamically created dialogue actions. This leads to an increase in flexibility which can be used for adaptation tasks. After the implementation of the modifications and the integration of the Dialogue Manager into a full Spoken Dialogue System, an evaluation of the system has been carried out.The results indicate that the participants were able to conduct meaningful dialogues and that the system performs satisfactorily, showing that the implementation of the Dialogue Manager was successful.
