Programmable Adaptive Transducers and Their Application in Dialog Agent Development
Dialogue agents, Formal and natural languages, Addaptative transfducers, automata, controled natural languages
The present work aims to present a dialog agent model built from the Programmable Adaptive Transducer, a device based on a deterministic nite automaton with adaptive technology capable of extending its own state structure and rules of transitions, so that
the recognized language by the transducer becomes a limited subset of natural but expandable language. This device is then used to model a dialog agent capable of receiving sentences in Portuguese and reacting to these sentences presenting a behavior semantically compatible with the sentence passed by the user, responding to it according to the denitions registered in the agent's knowledge base. Adding to it the ability to allow the expansion of this knowledge base from the user's own sentences, through an appropriate syntax for such.
