Abstract

This paper reports on an experiment that investigates clarification subdialogues in intentionally noisy speech recognition. The architecture learns weights for mixtures of grounding strategies from examples provided by a human wizard embedded in the system. Results indicate that the architecture learns to eliminate misunderstandings reliably despite high word error rate.
