Spoken Dialog Systems for Telephone Services






The project is a collaboration between three departments at NTNU (Department of Telecommunications, Department of Informatics and Computer Science, Department of Linguistics) and SINTEF Telecom and Informatics. The project will have close ties with Telenor R&D, who have their own research activities in this area, and will coordinate activities and exchange resources and knowledge whenever possible. Trafikanten MidtNorge will be involved from the user side in the development of a prototype dialog system.

The project is intended to be divided into two parts. Part I contains the part which is funded within the framework of the Norwegian Research Council's programme "Grunnleggende teleforskning" ("Basic telecom research").

Part II contains the remainder of the envisioned project. This part is dependent upon additional funding and is not yet activated. It must be emphasized that without Part II, the project goals of providing the necessary tools and knowledge for the development of future spoken dialog systems for the Norwegian language will only be partially fulfilled, and that the activities within both parts are strongly interlinked.
