Extending VERA(Conference Information)Design Specification & Schedules Arthur Chan (AC) Rohit Kumar (RK) Lingyun Gao (LG)
Resources We Need • Support from Ravenclaw Developers • On how to setup Ravenclaw • AC, RK,LG all have a windows XP machine and ready to set up Ravenclaw • Creation of backend • Interspeech 2005, • LG will parse the backend
Specification • Based on notion similar to [Rohit fill in IBM’s paper name here] • Every subdialogue will need • Prompt • Confirmation • Expected Input (Grammar, LM, w/wo Parser) • Condition on how to go to other dialogue
Dialogue Graph • [Rohit fill in the graph here] • [Could use multi pages]
Sample Dialog 1: If everything goes smoothy…… • System: Welcome to the Interspeech 2006 Conference Information System. How may I help you? • User: Can I have the session information for Wednesday? • [System successfully parse the two information, session info and date] • System: On which time period you want the information? • User: From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. • [System successfully narrow down the number of sessions (N).] • System: We have identified 5 sessions on Wednesday 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. They are …… is that what you want? • User: Yes • System: Can I help you on other things today? • User: No • System: Thanks for using the VERA system
Sample Dialog 2: If non-understanding in main-menu • System: Welcome to the Interspeech 2006 Conference Information System. How may I help you? • User: Can I have the session information for Wednesday? • [System doesn’t understand, decide to go into a more restricted system-initiative dialogues] • System: What kind of information do you want? You can say “Session Information”, “Keywords” and “Paper Information”. • User: “Session Information” • [Assuming system does no confirmation, in reality, system confirm when scores are higher than a certain confidence threshold] • System: On which date do you want the session information? For example, you can say “July fifteenth” or “Thursday” • User: Thursday. • System: On which period of time do you want the information? For example, you can say, “from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.” • User: from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.” • [System gives the information as in Dialogue 1]
Schedules • Feb 6 -> Feb 12: Design, Create 1st Specification • Feb 13 -> Feb 26: Get Ravenclaw up and running, try to build sample applications. • Feb 27 -> Mar 13: Create sub-dialogues: Info, Area, Time, Date, Title of Papers • Mat 14 -> Mar 20: Spring Break • Mar 21 -> Apr 2: Create main menu: build LM that could accept natural dialogue • Apr 3 -> Apr 16: Link Sub-dialogue together • Apr 17 -> May 1: Fine tuning. Input further research ideas
Notes • Schedules assume 2 hours work per week from each member • Reality will be different and re-scheduling will be done if needed • Current specification has gaps which requires actual understanding of the tools, we will fill in the right timing
