We introduce an architecture and toolkit for building dialogue managers currently being
developed in the TRINDI project, based on the notions of information state and dialogue …

We introduce the information state approach to dialogue management, and show how it can
be used to formalize theories of dialogue in a manner suitable for easy implementation. We …

There is currently a broad interest in dialogue acts and dialogue act taxonomies, and new
uses, taxonomies, and standardization efforts continue to be proposed. This paper presents …

This paper presents some research undertaken as part of the EU-funded HOMEY project,
into the application of intelligent dialogue systems to healthcare systems. The work …

Computational approaches to dialogue generally fall into two categories of computational
task: dialogue modeling and dialogue management. Dialogue modeling refers to …

Managing tutorial dialogue is an intrinsically complex task that is only partially covered by
current models of dialogue processing. After an analysis of such models identifying their …

Multimodal natural-language based dialogue is increasingly becoming a feasible and
attractive human-machine interface. Such interfaces offer a mode of interaction that has …

A promising approach to constructing more effective computer tutors is implementing tutorial
strategies that extend over multiple turns. This means that computer tutors must deal with (1) …

Numerous studies show that participants of real-life dialogues happen to get involved in
rather dynamic non-sequential interactions. This challenges the dialogue system designs …

Much of the work on intelligent information presentation has focused on systems that support
information-seeking (eg., providing flight times and fares), assist decision-making (eg …
