Abstract:

Based on finite state formalization, this paper deals with the problem of modelling and automatic programming of dialogue systems. The approach presented here is based on finding an operator (a construction) that assigns a corresponding dialogue system to a dialogue corpus. It will be shown that this construction is universal, in the sense that each dialogue system can be obtained in this way, and some related issues (uniqueness, algorithmization and algorithmical complexity) will be briefly discussed. The theory is illustrated on a simple example. Some related problems are formulated.
