Framework for the development of spoken dialogue system based on collaboratively constructed semantic resources

Abstract

We herein introduce our project of realizing a framework for the development of a spoken dialogue system based on collaboratively constructed semantic resources. We demonstrate that a semantic Web-oriented approach based on collaboratively constructed semantic resources significantly reduces troublesome rule descriptions and complex configurations, which are caused by the previous relational database-based approach, in the development process of spoken dialogue systems. In addition, we show that the proposed framework enables multilingual spoken dialogue system development due to clear separation of model, view and controller components.
