We demonstrate a new development environ- ment1 “Information State Update” dialogue systems which allows non-expert developers to produce complete spoken dialogue sys- tems based only on a Business Process Model (BPM) describing their application (e.g. bank- ing, cinema booking, shopping, restaurant in- formation). The environment includes au- tomatic generation of Grammatical Frame- work (GF) grammars for robust interpretation of spontaneous speech, and uses application databases to generatelexicalentries and gram- mar rules. The GF grammar is compiled to an ATK or Nuance language model for speech recognition. The demonstration system allows users to create and modify spoken dialogue systems, starting with a definition of a Busi- nessProcessModelandendingwithaworking system. This pape...
