ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a system and method for generating a spoken dialog service from website data. Spoken dialog components typically include an automatic speech recognition module, a language understanding module, a dialog management module, a language generation module and a text-to-speech module. These components are capable of being automatically trained from processed website data. A website analyzer converts a website into structured text data set and a structured task knowledge base. The website analyzer further extracts linguistic items from the website data. The dialog components are automatically trained from the structured text data set, structured task knowledge base and linguistic items.
