ABSTRACT
We present a primarily speech-based user interface to a wide range of entertainment, navigation and communication applications for use in vehicles. The multimodal dialog en ables the system to uniquely identify one of 79,000 place name variants using an active vocabulary of only 3,000 words at any given time. Low confidence in speech recog nition and word-level ambiguities are compensated for in flexible clarification dialogs with the user. The underlying dialog concept was developed in the framework of the EU-project SENECa. Some recent evalua tion results of the SENECa system demonstrator are discussed in the paper

Spoken dialogue technology: enabling the conversational user interface
Spoken dialogue systems allow users to interact with computer-based applications such as databases and expert systems by using natural spoken language. The origins of spoken dialogue systems can be traced back to Artificial Intelligence research in the ...
Towards Conversationally Intelligent Dialog Systems
CHI EA '22: Extended Abstracts of the 2022 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSpoken dialog systems, lacking the means to address the complex phenomena of spontaneous speech and conversational dynamics, force users into a constrained mode of dialog that resembles text-based interaction more closely than spoken conversation.

Speech dialogue with facial displays: multimodal human-computer conversation
ACL '94: Proceedings of the 32nd annual meeting on Association for Computational LinguisticsHuman face-to-face conversation is an ideal model for human-computer dialogue. One of the major features of face-to-face communication is its multiplicity of communication channels that act on multiple modalities. To realize a natural multimodal ...
