Abstract

We herein propose a method for the rapid development of a spoken dialogue system based on collaboratively constructed semantic resources and compare the proposed method with a conventional method that is based on a relational database. Previous development frameworks of spoken dialogue systems, which presuppose a relational database management system as a background application, require complex data definition, such as making entries in a task-dependent language dictionary, templates of semantic frames, and conversion rules from user utterances to the query language of the database. We demonstrate that a semantic web oriented approach based on collaboratively constructed semantic resources significantly reduces troublesome rule descriptions and complex configurations in the rapid development process of spoken dialogue systems.
