ISIS, which abbreviates Intelligent Speech for InformationSystems, is a trilingual spoken dialog system (SDS) for thefinancial *** handles two dialects of Chinese(Cantonese and Putonghua), as well as English—thepredominant languages in our region. The system supportsspoken language queries regarding stock market informationand simulated personal portfolios. Real-time information isretrieved directly from a dedicated Reuters satellite *** a system test-bed for our work in multilingualspeech recognition and generation, speader authentication,language understanding and dialog modeling. Furthermore,ISIS supports our new explorations in: (i) CORBA‘sinteroperability and scalability for SDS development, (ii)asynchronous human-computer interaction by delegation toKQML software agents;(iii) switching between onlineinteraction and offline delegation in a single dialog thread,and (iv) automatic incorporation of newly listed stocks toexpand our system’s knowledge base.
