Abstract

In this paper, we present an approach to the estimation of a dialogue- dependent understanding component of a dialogue system. This work is developed in the framework of the Basurde Spanish dialogue system, which answers queries about train timetables by telephone in Spanish. A modelization which is specific to each dialogue state is proposed to improve the behaviour of the understanding process. Some experimental results are presented.

Work partially funded by CICYT under project 2000-0664-C02, Spain.
