A Robust and Efficient Three-Layered Dialogue Component for a Speech-to-Speech Translation System
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.Comment: Postscript file, compressed and uuencoded, 15 pages, to appear in
