Abstract:
Un système de dialogue conversationnel doit aider les utilisateurs humains à atteindre leurs objectifs à travers des dialogues naturels et efficients. C'est une tache toutefois difficile car les langages naturels sont ambiguës et incertains, de plus le système de reconnaissance vocale (ASR) est bruité. À cela s'ajoute le fait que l'utilisateur humain peut changer son intention lors de l'interaction avec la machine. Dans ce contexte, l'application des processus décisionnels de Markov partiellement observables (POMDPs) au système de dialogue conversationnel nous a permis d'avoir un cadre formel

Abstract:
One way to reduce the complexity of the speech recognition is to use syntactic, semantic and pragmatic information to predict the next input of the user. In spoken dialogue systems pragmatic information can include knowledge about the dialogue domain, dialogue context and dialogue focus.

The main design objectives were to create a tool that would facilitate the design of human-computer dialogues and to provide a language model to the speech recognizer containing the predictions of the next utterance.

Le probleme du dialogue chez pascal se fonde sur le constat d'un paradoxe: celui de l'absence quasi totale de forme dialoguee si l'on exclut quelques fragments de l'apologie et pourtant omnipresence du dialogue que ce soit sous forme de correspondance ou d'apostrophe. Le dialogue est partout et il est nulle part. Le dialogue chez pascal peut tout d'abord s'expliquer par les donnees de la personnalite de son auteur; ainsi il est revelateur de son temperament dialogique puisque aucune ligne de toute l'oeuvre de pascal n'a ete ecrite sans avoir present a l'esprit un interlocuteur.

Abstract:
A Spoken Dialogue System's (SDS's) dialogue strategy specifies which action it will take depending on its representation of the current dialogue context. Designing it by hand involves anticipating how users will interact with the system, and/or repeated testing and refining, and so can be a difficult, time-consuming task. Since SDSs inevitably make understanding errors, a particularly important issue is how to design ``repair strategies'', the parts of the dialogue strategy which attempt to get the dialogue ``back-on-track'' following these errors.

Slot-filling Frame-based provides a flexible approach for the system to capture any useful data that are related to the current context from the user's reply.

Abstract:
<p>Human behavior threatens to ruin irrevocably our long-term existence; the downhill slide is steep and seemingly soon will be incurable. Shifting from unsustainable development would require substantial and far-reaching changes in lifestyles and living standards.
