This talk will review the principal components of a spoken dialogue system and then discuss the opportunities for applying machine learning for building robust high performance open-domain systems. The talk will be illustrated by recent work at Cambridge University using machine learning for belief tracking, reward estimation, multi-domain policy learning and natural language generation. The talk will conclude by discussing some of the key challenges in scaling these solutions to work in practical systems.
