Whereas traditional dialog systems consists of a pipeline of components such as intent detection, state tracking, and action selection, an end-to-end dialog system is driven by a machine learning model which takes observable dialog history as input, and directly outputs a distribution over dialog actions. The benefit of this approach is that intermediate quantities such as intent or dialog state do not need to be labeled – rather, learning can be done directly on example dialogs.}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/demonstration-interactive-dialog-teaching-learning-practical-end-end-dialog-manager/}, edition = {Proceedings of 2017 SIGDIAL Conference}, }
