Method and system for interpreting verbal inputs in multimodal dialog system
First Claim
1. A method for interpreting a verbal input in a multimodal dialog system, the verbal input comprising at least one word generated by a verbal recognition component during a turn of a dialog the method comprising:
- assigning a confidence value to the at least one word generated by the verbal recognition component; and
generating a semantic unit confidence score for the verbal input, the generation being based on the confidence value of the at least one word and at least one semantic confidence operator.

Abstract
A method, a system and a computer program product for interpreting a verbal input in a multimodal dialog system are provided. The method includes assigning (302) a confidence value to at least one word generated by a verbal recognition component. The method further includes generating (304) a semantic unit confidence score for the verbal input. The generation of a semantic unit confidence score is based on the confidence value of at least one word and at least one semantic confidence operator.

9. A multimodal dialog system for interpreting a verbal input, the verbal input comprising at least one word generated by a verbal recognition component during a turn of a dialog, the multimodal dialog system comprising:
-
a value assigner, the value assigner assigning a confidence value to the at least one word generated by the verbal recognition component; and
a score generator, the score generator generating a semantic unit confidence score for the verbal input, the generation being based on the confidence value of the at least one word and at least one semantic confidence operator. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. The multimodal dialog system in accordance with claim 15 wherein one of a semantic sentence and a semantic turn confidence score is generated from more than one of:
- the semantic unit confidence score;
the at least one other semantic unit confidence score; and
a semantic sentence score.
- the semantic unit confidence score;

16. A computer program product for use with a computer, the computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein for interpreting a verbal input, the verbal input comprising at least one word generated by a verbal recognition component during a turn of a dialog, the computer program code performing:
-
assigning a confidence value to the at least one word generated by the verbal recognition component; and
generating a semantic unit confidence score for the verbal input, the generation being based on the confidence value of the at least one word and at least one semantic confidence operator.
