abstract:

In this paper, we describe a dialogue library for task-oriented spoken dialogue systems. This library was designed for a general task domains. We have classified several domains into three abstract tasks according to the direction of information flow. Subdialogue of the abstract task can be represented by the library which is combined to each application, such as, slot-filler, database and XML. The portability of this library was evaluated in slot-filling task.
