A Handsome Set of Metrics to Measure Utterance Classification Performance in Spoken Dialog Systems

David Suendermann, Jackson Liscombe, Krishna Dayanidhi and Roberto Pieraccini

SIGDIAL Workshop on Discourse and Dialogue (SIGDIAL 2009)
Queen Mary University of London, September 11-12, 2009

Summary

We present a set of metrics describing classification performance for individual contexts of a spoken dialog system as well as for the entire system. We show how these metrics can be used to train and tune system components and how they are related to Caller Experience, a subjective measure describing how well a caller was treated by the dialog system.
