The DialPort Portal Grouping Diverse Types of Spoken Dialog Systems
This paper describes a new spoken dialog portal that connects systems produced by the spoken dialog academic research community and gives them access to real users. We introduce a distributed, multi modal, multi agent prototype dialog framework that affords easy integration with various remote resources, ranging from end to end dialog systems to external knowledge APIs. To date, the DialPort portal has one chatbot and has successfully connected to the multi domain spoken dialog system at Cambridge University, the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) weather API and the Yelp API.
