Abstract
We present the dialogue component of
the speech-to-speech translation system
VERBMOBIL. In contrast to conventional
dialogue systems it mediates the dialogue
while processing maximally 50% of
the dialogue in depth. Special requirements
(robustness and efficiency) lead
to a 3-layered hybrid architecture for
the dialogue module, using statistics, an
automaton and a planner. A dialogue
memory is constructed incrementally.
