Dialog

Goal

Building and evaluating interactive dialog systems and conversational interfaces.

    Approach

    • Developing empirical and simulation based method for usability engineering of dialog system
    • Using Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Large Language Models for understanding and generation of natural language
    • Training of dialog management using reinforcement learning
    • Studying user behavior in speech and language base human machine interaction

    Teaching

    • Speech Communication
    • Seminar Machine Learning and AI for Dialog Systems
    • Study Projects, e.g., Escape Room Chatbot Challenge
