Abstract

See full text

A controller for a dialog manager, the dialog manager being configured to receive a representation of an input utterance from a user and control the flow of conversation with the user. The controller is configured to implement a parameterized policy for defining the behavior of a dialog manager. The parameterized policy is configured to operate with an ontology-independent parameter as an input. The controller has a processor for parameterizing an end user ontology such that the parameterized policy can define the behavior of a dialog manager for the end user ontology. The processor is configured to define a slot of the end user ontology in terms of at least one of the ontology-independent parameters such that it is suitable for being used as an input to the parameterized policy.
