Abstract
This paper presents DietTalk, a diet and health assistant based on a spoken dialog system. The purpose of DietTalk is to help people to control their weight by consulting with it using natural language. DietTalk stores personal status, provides food and exercise information, and recommends appropriate food and exercise. To evaluate the effectiveness of DietTalk, we performed human user experiments. DietTalk had good accuracy and satisfied users; therefore, DietTalk is effective in helping users to control their weight.
