A tutorial dialogue system with unrestricted spoken input

Peter Bell, Myroslava Dzikovska, Amy Isard

We present our work in building a spoken language interface for a tutorial dialogue system. Our goal is to allow natural, unrestricted student interaction with the computer tutor, which has been shown to improve the student's learning gain, but presents challenges for speech recognition and spoken language understanding. Here we describe the system design, focusing on the components used for speech recognition.
