  1. Semantic Representation • Semantic frame (frame and slot/value structure) [Gildeaand Jurafsky, 2002] – An intermediate semantic representation to serve as the interface between user and dialog system – Each frame contains several typed components called slots . The type of a slot specifies what kind of fillers it is expecting. “Show me flights from Seattle to Boston” ShowFlight <frame name=‘ShowFlight’ type=‘void’> <slot type=‘Subject’> FLIGHT</slot> <slot type=‘Flight’/> Subject Flight <slot type=‘DCity’>SEA</slot> <slot type=‘ACity’>BOS</slot> </slot> FLIGHT Departure_City Arrival_City </frame> SEA BOS Semantic representation on ATIS task; XML format (left) and hierarchical representation (right) [Wang et al., 2005] 19 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  2. Knowledge-based Systems • Knowledge-based systems: – Developers write a syntactic/semantic grammar – A robust parser analyzes the input text with the grammar – Without a large amount of training data • Previous works – MIT: TINA (natural language understanding) [Seneff, 1992] – CMU: PHEONIX [Pellom et al., 1999] – SRI: GEMINI [Dowding et al., 1993] • Disadvantages 1) Grammar development is an error-prone process 2) It takes multiple rounds to fine-tune a grammar 3) Combined linguistic and engineering expertise is required to construct a grammar with good coverage and optimized performance 4) Such a grammar is difficult and expensive to maintain 20 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  3. Statistical Systems • Statistical SLU approaches: – System can automatically learn from example sentences with their corresponding semantics – The annotation are much easier to create and do not require specialized knowledge • Previous works – Microsoft: HMM/CFG composite model [Wang et al., 2005] – AT&T: CHRONUS (Finite-state transducers) [Levin and Pieraccini, 1995] – Cambridge Univ: Hidden vector state model [He and Young, 2005] – Postech: Semantic frame extraction using statistical classifiers [Eun et al., 2004; Eun et al., 2005; Jeong and Lee, 2006] • Disadvantages 1) Data-sparseness problem; system requires a large amount of corpus 2) Lack of domain knowledge 21 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  4. Reducing the Effort of Human Annotation • Active + Semi-supervised learning for SLU [Tur et al., 2005] – Use raw data, and divide them into two sets S raw = S active + S semi + Labeled samples Small Augmented Labeled data Model data + > threshold no Predict & Active Raw data Estimate Learning Confidence Filter yes < threshold 22 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  5. Semantic Frame Extraction • Semantic Frame Extraction (~ Information Extraction Approach ) 1) Dialog act / Main action Identification ~ Classification 2) Frame-Slot Object Extraction ~ Named Entity Recognition 3) Object-Attribute Attachment ~ Relation Extraction – 1) + 2) + 3) ~ Unification How to get to DisneyWorld? Domain: Navigation Dialog Act: WH-question Main Action: Search Feature Extraction / Selection Feature Extraction / Selection Object.Location.Destination=DisneyWorld + + I like DisneyWorld. Info. Dialog Act Frame-Slot Relation Info. Dialog Act Frame-Slot Relation + + + + Domain: Chat Source Identification Extraction Extraction Source Identification Extraction Extraction Dialog Act: Statement + + Main Action: Like Unification Unification + + Object.Location=DisneyWorld Examples of semantic frame structure Overall architecture for semantic analyzer 23 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  6. Frame-Slot Object Extraction • Frame-Slot Extraction ~ NER = Sequence Labeling Problem • A probabilistic model Sequence Labeling Inference Conditional Random Fields [Lafferty et al. 2001] y t y y t y y y t+1 CRF = Undirected t- -1 1 t t+1 graphical model x t x t x t+1 x x x t- -1 1 t t+1 24 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  7. Long-distance Dependency in NER … … … … fly from denver to chicago on dec. . 10th 1999 fly from denver to chicago on dec 10th 1999 DEPART.MONTH … … … … return from denver to chicago on dec. . 10th 1999 return from denver to chicago on dec 10th 1999 RETURN.MONTH • A Solution: Trigger-Induced CRF [Jeong and Lee, 2006] – Basic idea is to add only bundle of (trigger) features which increase log- likelihood of training data – Measuring gain to evaluate the (trigger) features using Kullback-Leibler divergence Feature Gain 25 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  13. VoiceXML-based System • What is VoiceXML? – The HTML(XML) of the voice web. [W3C, working draft] – The open standard markup language for voice application • Can do – Rapid implementation and management – Integrated with World Wide Web – Mixed-Initiative dialog – Able to input push button on telephone – Simple dialog implementation solution • VoiceXML dialogs are built from – <menu>, <form> (similar to “Slot & Filling” system) • Limiting User’s Response – Verification, and Help for invalid response – Good speech recognition accuracy 31 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  14. Example – <Form> Browser : Please say your complete phone number User : 800-555-1212 Browser : Please say your PIN code User : 1 2 3 4 <vxml version="2.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml"> <form id="login"> <field name="phone_number" type="phone"> <prompt> Please say your complete phone number </prompt> </field> <field name="pin_code" type="digits"> <prompt> Please say your PIN code </prompt> </field> <block> <submit next=“http://www.example.com/servlet/login” namelist=phone_number pin_code"/> </block> </form> </vxml> 32 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  15. Frame-based Approach • Frame-based system [McTear, 2004] – Asks the user questions to fill slots in a template in order to perform a task (form-filling task) – Permits the user to respond more flexibly to the system’s prompts (as in Example 2.) – Recognizes the main concepts in the user’s utterance Example 2) Example 1) • System: What is your destination? • System: What is your destination? • User: London. • User: London on Friday around 10 in the morning. • System: What day do you want to • System: I have the following travel? connection … • User: Friday 33 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  16. Agent-Based Approach • Properties [Allen et al., 1996] – Complex communication using unrestricted natural language – Mixed-Initiative – Co-operative problem solving – Theorem proving, planning, distributed architectures – Conversational agents • An example User : I’m looking for a job in the Calais area. Are there any servers? System : No, there aren’t any employment servers for Calais. However, there is an employment server for Pasde-Calais and an employment server for Lille. Are you interested in one of these? • System attempts to provide a more co-operative response that might address the user’s needs. 34 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  17. Galaxy Communicator Framework • The Galaxy Communicator software infrastructure is a distributed , message-based , hub-and-spoke infrastructure optimized for constructing spoken dialog systems. [Bayer et al., 2001] • An open source architecture for constructing dialog systems History: MIT Galaxy system � Developed and maintained by MITRE • Message-passing protocol Hub and Clients architecture 35 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  21. The Role of Dialog Management • For example, in the flight reservation system – System : Welcome to the Flight Information Service. Where would you like to travel to? – Caller : I would like to fly to London on Friday arriving around 9 in the morning . – System : There is a flight that departs at 7:45 a.m. and arrives at 8:50 a.m. ?????????? ?????????? � In order to process this utterance, the system has to engage in the following processes: 1) Recognize the words that the caller said. (Speech Recognition) 2) Assign a meaning to these words. (Language Understanding) 3) Determine how the utterance fits into the dialog so far and decide what to do next. (Dialog Management) 39 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  22. Information State Update Approach – Rule-based DM (Larsson and Traum, 2000 ) • A method of specifying a dialogue theory that makes it straightforward to implement • Consisting of following five constituents – Information Components – Including aspects of common context – (e.g., participants, common ground, linguistic and intentional structure, obligations and commitments, beliefs, intentions, user models, etc.) – Formal Representations – How to model the information components – (e.g., as lists, sets, typed feature structures, records, etc.) 40 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  23. Information State Approach – Dialogue Moves – Trigger the update of the information state – Be correlated with externally performed actions – Update Rules – Govern the updating of the information state – Update Strategy – For deciding which rules to apply at a given point from the set of applicable ones 41 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  24. Example Dialogue 42 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  25. Example Dialogue 43 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  26. The Hand-crafted Dialog Model is Not Domain Portable • A Tree Branching for Every Possible Situation – It can become very complex. Start Information + Origin Information + Origin + Dest. Information + Destination Information + Origin + Dest +Date Information + Date Information + Information + Dest + Date Origin + Date Flight # Flight # + Flight # + Flight # + Reservation Date Information 44 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  27. An Optimization Problem • Dialog Management as an Optimization Problem – Optimization Goal – Achieve an application goal to minimize a cost function (=objective function) – In General – To minimize the turn of user-system and the DB access until filling all slots – Simple Example : Month and Day Problem – Designing a dialog system that gets a correct date (month and day) from a user through the shortest possible interaction – Objective Function = ω + ω + ω C *# interactio ns *# Errors *# unfilled slots D i e f • How to Mathematically Formalize? – Markov Decision Process (MDP) 45 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  28. Mathematical Formalization • Markov Decision Process (MDP) (Levin et al 2000) – Problems with cost (or reward) objective function are well modeled as Markov Decision Process . – The specification of a sequential decision problem for a fully observable environment that satisfies the Markov Assumption and yields additive rewards. Dialog Manager Dialog State Dialog Action Cost (Prompts, Queries, etc.) (Turn, Error, DB Access, etc.) Environment (User, External DB or other Servers) 46 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  29. Month and Day Example Strategy 1. Good Bye. - = ω + ω - C * 1 * 2 1 i f - - = ω + ω + ω Strategy2. C * 2 * 2 * P * 0 Which date ? Good Bye. 2 i e 1 f - Day - - Month - Strategy 3. Which day ? Which month? Good Bye. - Day Day - - - Month - = ω + ω + ω C * 3 * 2 * P * 0 3 i e 2 f Optimal strategy is the one that minimizes the cost. Strategy 1 is optimal if w i + P 2 * w e - w f > 0 � Recognition error rate is too high Strategy 3 is optimal if 2*(P 1 -P 2 )* w e - w i > 0 � P 1 is much more high than P 2 against a cost of longer interaction 47 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  30. POMDP (Young 2002) • Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) – POMDP extends Markov Decision Process by removing the requirement that the system knows its current state precisely. – Instead, the system makes observations about the outside world which give incomplete information about the true current state. – Belief State : A distribution over MDP states in the absence of knowing its state exactly . POMDP MDP s b(s) Current State ∑ ρ = ( b , a ) b ( s ) r ( s , a ) r(s,a) Reward Function ∈ s S ∑ p ( o | s ' , a ) p ( s ' | a , s ) b ( s ) = = ∈ s S b ( s ' ) p ( s ' | o , a , b ) s` Next State p ( o | a , b ) 48 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  31. Example-based Dialog Model Learning (Lee et al 2006) • Example-Based Dialog Modeling – Automatically modeling from dialog corpus – Example-based techniques using dialog example database (DEDB). – This model is simple and domain portable. – DEDB Indexing and Searching – Query key : user intention, semantic frames, discourse history. – Tie-breaking – Utterance similarity Measure – Lexico-Semantic Similarity : Normalized edit distance – Discourse History Similarity : Cosine similarity 49 IUI 20 0 7 tutoria l

  32. Example-based Dialog Modeling • Indexing and Querying – Semantic-based indexing for dialog example database – Lexical-based example database needs much more examples. – The SLU results is the most important index key. – Automatically indexing from dialog corpus. 그럼 SBS 드라마는 언제 하지 ?
