Abstract
In this paper, we focus on our agent-based approach to task-oriented dialogue management. We present our deliberation process based on optimizing the length of a dialogue. As innovative features, the manager accommodates the “lounge mode” for passing all initiative back to the user within a single dialogue turn, and a two-layered structure for representing the dialogue context. At the end of the paper, we suggest future extensions to the architecture.
