Tóm tắt

We describe ETUDE, a dialog manager that supports recursive descriptions of the dialog flow in spoken dialog applications. We also introduce the notion of user interface patterns, i.e. those dialog patterns that are frequently used in applications. We then describe how these patterns can be built into the dialog manager engine in order to facilitate the design and development of complex applications.
