The present technology provides for a platform enabling creation of custom dialog system engines serving as backend services for custom dialog system interfaces in an easy manner. Dialog system interfaces can be implemented at least as a part of various software applications, mobile applications, middleware applications, firmware applications, websites, web services, and so forth. In other words, dialog system interfaces are on a client side and provide a computer-human interface configured to at least acquire user inputs and deliver dialog system outputs to the users. Dialog system engines, on the other hand, support the dialog system interfaces by processing user inputs and generating corresponding responses thereto.  2, record 1, English, - dialogue%20system%20interface

Response generation is an important component in developing a conversational dialog system. End users often judge the quality of a dialog system based on the quality of the responses they hear from the system. This relates to the Gricean cooperative principle, which describes how people interact with one another and posits that conversational contributions are made as required, at the appropriate time, and for the purpose of advancing the conversation. One aspect of system quality is the avoidance of obscure or non-responsive expressions, and preferably the use of phrases with which the user is familiar.  1, record 3, English, - response%20generation

It is an objective measure which relies on statistical classification with support vector machines(SVMs). We compare objective expert IQ annotations of ongoing SDS interactions with subjective user satisfaction(US) ratings and show that IQ and US correlate(ρ=. 66).  1, record 6, English, - interaction%20quality
