Abstract
A method of tuning reusable dialog components within a speech application can include detecting speech recognition events generated from a plurality of recognitions performed for a field of a reusable dialog component. The speech recognition events can be generated over a plurality of interactive voice response sessions. The method also can include automatically computing a suggested value for a tuning parameter corresponding to the field of the reusable dialog component according, at least in part, to the speech recognition events.
Claims20
A method of tuning reusable dialog components within a speech application comprising:
- detecting speech recognition events generated from a plurality of recognitions performed for a field of a reusable dialog component, wherein the speech recognition events are generated over a plurality of interactive voice response sessions;
- and
- automatically computing a suggested value for a tuning parameter corresponding to the field of the reusable dialog component according, at least in part, to the speech recognition events.
A system for tuning reusable dialog components within a speech application comprising:
- at least one reusable dialog component, wherein the reusable dialog component comprises at least one tunable parameter;
- a listener configured to detect speech recognition events generated during execution of the reusable dialog component, wherein the speech recognition events have a specific type and are associated with a particular field of the reusable dialog component;
- and
- a model comprising estimated tuning parameter information for the reusable dialog component,
- wherein the listener calculates a suggested value for a tuning parameter of the particular field of the reusable dialog component according, at least in part, to the detected speech recognition events and stores the suggested value within the model.
A machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections for tuning reusable dialog components within a speech application, the machine readable storage comprising:
- code for detecting speech recognition events generated from a plurality of recognitions performed for a field of a reusable dialog component, wherein the speech recognition events are generated over a plurality of interactive voice response sessions;
- and
- code for automatically computing a suggested value for a tuning parameter corresponding to the field of the reusable dialog component according, at least in part, to the speech recognition events.
