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

When studying the conveyance of information between humans and machines, there is a distinction to be observed among three closely related concepts: "communication," which is the unidirectional transmission of a message; "interaction," which is a type of bidirectional communication, but not necessarily oral; and "dialogue," which is a verbal interaction between two active participants. 5, record 2, English, - human%2Dmachine%20dialogue

Lorsqu'on étudie le transfert d'information entre les humains et les machines, il importe de faire une distinction entre trois notions étroitement liées : la «communication», qui est la transmission unidirectionnelle d'un message; l'«interaction», qui est une communication bidirectionnelle, mais pas nécessairement verbale; et le «dialogue», qui est une interaction verbale entre deux participants actifs. 5, record 2, French, - dialogue%20homme%2Dmachine

Depuis quarante-cinq ans des chercheurs tentent de concevoir des dispositifs permettant l'interaction vocale entre l'homme et la machine. Ces efforts n'ont pas été vains : aujourd'hui certaines machines parlent (synthèse vocale) ... et d'autres entendent (reconnaissance vocale) ... L'interaction orale, par l'intermédiaire du réseau téléphonique, permet de simplifier l'accès à des systèmes automatiques de réservation, de prise de commande ou à des banques d'information. 2, record 3, French, - interaction%20vocale
