Abstract

This work addresses natural language dialog planning for an intelligent web filtering model, which lets the user filter search results obtained by a traditional search engine and assists them to find what they really are looking for. Unlike state-of-the-art approaches, a stochastic planning model is proposed for a web-driven dialog system which uses Conditional Random Fields to predict next dialog moves. Experiments with real web users and different interaction settings show the promise of the approach to web-based adaptive planning aimed at information filtering.
