MULTI-SLOT DIALOG SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods for constructing a series of interactions with a user to collect multiple pieces of related information for the purpose of accomplishing a specific goal or topic (a multi-slot dialog) using a component-based approach axe disclosed. The method generally includes outputting [802] a primary header prompt to elicit values for slots in a segment from the user, receiving [804] a primary user response containing a value for each slot in at least a subset of the slots in the segment, processing [806] the primary user response to determine at least one possible recognition value for each slot contained in the primary user response, filling [808] each slot contained in the primary user response with a matched value selected from the corresponding possible recognition values, and repeating [810] the outputting, receiving, processing and filling for any unfilled slots in the segment until all slots in the segment of slots are filled.
