A Multilingual Dialogue System for Accessing the Web

Abstract

Abstract:In this paper we propose the use of multilingual multichannel dialogue systems to improve the usability of web contents. In order to improve both the communication and the portability of those dialogue systems we propose the separation of the general components from the application-specific, language-specific and channel-specific aspects. This paper describes the multilingual dialogue system for accessing web contents we develop following this proposal. It is particularly focused two main components of the system: the dialogue manager and the natural language generator.
