Abstract

Systems and methods are described that automatically control modules of dialog systems. The systems and methods include a dialog module that receives and processes utterances from a speaker and outputs data used to generate synthetic speech outputs as responses to the utterances. A controller is coupled to the dialog module, and the controller detects an abnormal output of the dialog module when the dialog module is processing in an automatic mode. The controller comprises a mode control for an agent to control the dialog module by correcting the abnormal output and transferring a corrected output to a downstream dialog module that follows, in a processing path, the dialog module. The corrected output is used in further processing the utterances.
