About this book

This book provides a survey of the state-of-the-art in the practical implementation of Spoken Dialog Systems for applications in everyday settings. It includes contributions on key topics in situated dialog interaction from a number of leading researchers and offers a broad spectrum of perspectives on research and development in the area.

In particular, it presents applications in robotics, knowledge access and communication and covers the following topics: dialog for interacting with robots; language understanding and generation; dialog architectures and modeling; core technologies; and the analysis of human discourse and interaction.

 The contributions are adapted and expanded contributions from the 2014 International Workshop on Spoken Dialog Systems (IWSDS 2014), where researchers and developers from industry and academia alike met to discuss and compare their implementation experiences, analyses and empirical findings.

Reviews

“The book is easy to follow, with a good writing style. It provides exhaustive and comprehensive insight into spoken dialogue systems and speech-based human-computer interaction as well as dialogue in applications with speech interfaces for human interaction with computers and/or machines. … I can recommend it because it provides valuable basic background and detailed discussion of experiments.” (Thierry Edoh, Computing Reviews, computingreviews.com, September, 2016)
