  2. Resources We Need • Support from Ravenclaw Developers • On how to setup Ravenclaw • AC, RK,LG all have a windows XP machine and ready to set up Ravenclaw • Integration with SkypeIn • Creation of backend • Interspeech 2005 • LG will parse the backend

Research and Commercial Spoken Dialog Systems” Roberto Pieraccini and Juan Huerta, Proceedings of 6th SIGdial Workshop on Discourse and Dialogue 2005 • Every sub-dialogue will need • Prompt • Expected Input (Grammar, LM, w/wo Parser) • Condition on how to go to other dialogues • Short summary and confirmation

  6. Sample Dialog 2If non-understanding in main-menu System: Welcome to the Interspeech 2006 Conference Information System. How may I help you? User: Can I have the Session Info for Wednesday ? [System doesn’t understand, decide to go into a more restricted system-initiative dialogues] System: What kind of information do you want? You can say “Session Information”, “Keywords” and “Paper Information”.

For example, you can say “July fifteenth” or “Thursday” . User: Thursday. System: On which area are you interested? For example, you can say “Large Vocabulary Speech Recognition” User: “Speech Synthesis” [System gives the information as in Dialogue 1]

  7. Schedules Feb 06  Feb 12: Design, Create 1st Specification Feb 13  Feb 22: Get Ravenclaw up and running, try to build sample applications & get ICSLP05 Schedule Feb 23  Mar 05: Create sub-dialogues: Info, Area, Time, Date, Title of Papers Mar 06  Mar 19: Create main menu: build LM that could accept natural dialogue Mar 20  Apr 02: Link Sub-dialogue together Apr 03  Apr 17: Evaluation, Fine tuning, Investigate research questions, report

  8. Notes • Schedules assume 2 hours work per week from each member • Reality will be different and re-scheduling will be done if needed • Current specification has gaps which requires actual understanding of the tools, we will fill in at the right time.
