Scientific paper
We describe an architecture for implementing spoken natural language dialogue interfaces to semi-autonomous systems, in which the central idea is to transform the input speech signal through successive levels of representation corresponding roughly to linguistic knowledge, dialogue knowledge, and domain knowledge. The final representation is an executable program in a simple scripting language equivalent to a subset of Cshell. At each stage of the translation process, an input is transformed into an output, producing as a byproduct a "meta-output" which describes the nature of the transformation performed. We show how consistent use of the output/meta-output distinction permits a simple and perspicuous treatment of apparently diverse topics including resolution of pronouns, correction of user misconceptions, and optimization of scripts. The methods described have been concretely realized in a prototype speech interface to a simulation of the Personal Satellite Assistant.
