Abstract

Speech interfaces have become increasingly popular to support mobile commerce. Although spoken dialogue systems have been studied for decades, they pertain to specific domains. There is a lack of research on general approaches for voice enabling. In this paper, we propose a decision tree approach to personalize and voice-enable applications in the context of mobile commerce. The system dynamically analyses user preferences by mining the navigation and transaction logs. The user profile then is used to personalize a tree-based product catalogue. We utilize the Predictive Model Markup Language to store the resultant catalogue. This XML document is used to construct conversational dialogues for users to find the product information. The proposed architecture has been verified and evaluated though implementing a mobile car city application.
