Additional information

A preliminary version of this paper received a Best Paper award at the Interspeech 2010 conference, in the area of spoken language processing. It is the first paper to demonstrate that all model parameters in a spoken dialogue system can be optimised using reinforcement learning. This has particular relevance to commercial deployment since it allows a system to be optimised even when a client insists on the inclusion of sub-optimal design features (Paek and Pieraccini, Speech Communication 50(8-9): 716-729,2008)
