Abstract
Spoken Dialogue Systems are becoming even more common in daily life, supporting
information access to the masses in a plethora of domains, such as flight information,
restaurant guide, and others. At early stages of the development of a Spoken Dialogue
System, there is a chicken-and-egg problem, whereby good quality user data cannot be
obtained without a reasonably robust system. Thus, many other ways of mining good
quality data for such systems, are used during the development phase.
The data are necessary during the development phase, because they can be used in
data-driven grammar induction algorithms, in order to introduce new rules to the gram-
mars that are incorporated to the system for understanding what the users need. This
is important, because the performance of Spoken Dialogue Systems, is influenced by the
variety of grammar rules that constitute the speech understanding grammar.
One novel way for data acquisition is a newly method, called Crowdsourcing. According
to its definition crowdsourcing is “the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a
designated agent and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in
the form of an open call”. In crowdsourcing jobs, a large group of people give answers to
tasks that are easy for humans but difficult for computers, in exchange for a small amount
of money.
In this thesis the Crowdsourcing method is used, for gathering appropriate data for
the induction of new grammar rules, relevant to travel flight domain. The Crowdsourcing
method includes the design of various tasks, that the crowd interacts with and provides
the data. After the data acquisition, numerous metrics are implemented, in an attempt
to quantify their quality and find out whether we achieved our goal.
