TRIPS

Abstract:
The TRIPS system was built with an emphasis on modularity. It, therefore, consists of a number of modules that are each responsible for different tasks and inter-communicate to share the necessary information for the overall effect.

System Architecture
The TRIPS system was built with an emphasis on modularity.

Human-computer communication
There are a number of modes for the human and the computer to interact.

The Interpretation Manager
It controls all the interpretation components.

The Speech recogniser
It takes speech as input and it outputs word sequences and messages to draw attention on interpretations that might need revising.

The Chart parser
It takes input from all input sources.

Task Manager
It turns general planning strategies to specific plans and comes up with a course of action, taking into account the user's input.

The Reference and Discourse Context Components
The Reference and Discourse Context Components are used both by the Interpretation and the Generation Manager.

The Generation Manager
It communicates with the Discourse Context Component and the Behavioural Agent.

Speech acts in TRIPS
Speech acts are used in TRIPS by the Interpretation Manager in interpreting the intentions of the user.
