Abstract

This paper describes a framework to construct interface agents with example dialogs based on the tasks by the machine learning technology. The Wizard of Oz method is used to collect example dialogs, and a finite state machine-based model is used for the dialog model. We implemented a Web-based system which includes these functions, and empirically examined the system which treats with a guide task in Kyoto through the experimental use.
