In this paper we present a framework for spoken recommendation
systems. To provide reliable recommendations
to users, we incorporate a review summarization
technique which extracts informative opinion
summaries from grass-roots users‘ reviews. The dialogue
system then utilizes these review summaries to
support both quality-based opinion inquiry and feature-
specific entity search. We propose a probabilistic
language generation approach to automatically creating
recommendations in spoken natural language
from the text-based opinion summaries. A user study
in the restaurant domain shows that the proposed approaches
can effectively generate reliable and helpful
recommendations in human-computer conversations.
