项目摘要

In a spontaneous spoken dialogue understanding system, real-time response and robustness to the environment are required.To realize these requirements, we propose a multi-agent system as the system architecture. Each agent has its own function, e.g.phoneme recognition, input utterance structure reasoning from prosody, input utterance forecasting, word reasoning, parsing, etc. The output of this system is the result of co-operation of individual agents that adjust their own behavior to the environment or the input data independency. We propose the co-operation processes.A reinforcement learning method is proposed for a phoneme recognition agent as a sample agent, and adopted a continuous dynamic programming technique to deal with continuous phoneme recognition. To clarify the fundamental characteristics of the proposed method, we define some simple quasi conditions for the experiments, and confirm favorable results.The prosodic structure of the input utterance is represented as a tree form and constructed using FO, duration and pause information of each phrase of the utterance. The tree structure shows how strong successive phrases are concerned with each other.The forecasting the next input utterance uses the handling of two status transfer tables ; controlling for the dialogue in progress and for the dialogue in future.The system can be expected to achieve high adaptability to the environment(e.g., variation of speakers and tasks)and robustness. Some application systems(e.g.WWW voice browser)ware developed.

在自发的口语对话理解系统中，需要对环境的实时响应和鲁棒性。要实现这些要求，我们建议将多代理系统作为系统体系结构。每个代理都有其自己的功能，例如phoneme识别，韵律的输入话语结构，输入话语预测，单词推理，解析等。该系统的输出是单个代理的合作的结果，这些剂量将自己的行为调整为环境或输入数据独立性。我们提出了合作过程。为音素识别剂作为样本代理，提出了一种加强学习方法，并采用了连续的动态编程技术来处理连续的音素识别。为了阐明所提出方法的基本特征，我们为实验定义了一些简单的准条件，并确认了有利的结果。输入话语的韵律结构表示为树状，并使用FO，使用FO，持续时间和暂停信息来构造。树结构显示了强大的连续短语彼此相关。预测下一个输入话语使用两个状态转移表的处理。控制正在进行的对话和将来的对话。可以期望系统对环境（例如，说话者和任务的变化）和鲁棒性实现高适应性。开发了一些应用程序系统（例如WWW语音浏览器）。
