Abstract

This paper discusses a domain selection method for multi-domain dialog systems to generate the most appropriate system utterance in response to a user utterance. We present a two-step approach for efficient domain selection. In our proposed approach, the domain candidates are listed in descending order of scores and then each domain is verified by content-based filtering. When we applied our method, the accuracy increased and the time cost decreased compared to baseline methods.
