Abstract
The paper describes the ITC-irst approach for handling spoken dialogue interactions over the telephone network. Barge-in and utterance verification capabilities are going to be introduced into the developed software architecture. Some research activities that should enable accessing information in a new large applicative domain (i.e. the tourism domain) have been started. Objectives of the research are: language model adaptation and efficient information presentation, using a mixed representation approach.
