Dialogue as a basis for construction of speech systems

Abstract

The structure of speech dialogue systems is analyzed. It is shown that the creation of speech recognition and synthesis systems is connected with the solution of direct and inverse problems as applied to the organization of speech dialogue. Attention is paid to the multilevel hierarchical organization of speech dialogue systems in which the interaction between recognition and synthesis channels is realized through a common knowledgebase. A generalized structure of data representation at different hierarchy levels is analyzed, and the hierarchy of qualities determining properties of a dialogue system is considered.
