Speaker intention modeling for large vocabulary Mandarin spoken dialogues

摘要

The paper presents a statistical speaker intention modeling approach of speech act types (SAT's) (M. Nagata and T. Morimoto, 1993) prediction for large vocabulary Mandarin spoken dialogues. A SAT is an abstraction of speaker's intention in terms of the type of action that the speaker intends by the utterance. With this approach, spoken dialogue systems can be constructed to predict speaker's intention and make a proper action in advance.
