Multimodal Dialogue System Assessment
Frédéric Landragin · 2013
This chapter deals with an aspect that concerns the design stages as well as the final system once the computer implementation is finished. This is the question of evaluation, a delicate question inasmuch as an man-machine dialogue (MMD) system integrates components with various functionalities, and in which, the system types that can be considered have themselves highly varied priorities and characteristics. This question will lead us to conclude on the field of MMD, the current state of achievement and the challenges for the years to come. The chapter presents the methods that are currently used, in oral and multimodal MMD as well as in MMI which underline the weak points of the assessment and present the challenges for the years to come as well as a few paths that could be followed, especially for multimodal dialogue.
