ISIS (Intelligent Speech for Information Systems) is a trilingual spoken dialog system (SDS) for the stocks domain. It handles two dialects of Chinese (Cantonese and Putonghua) as well as Englishthe predominant languages in our region. The system supports spoken language queries regarding stock market information and simulated personal portfolios. The conversational interface is augmented with a screen display that can capture mouse-clicks as well as textual input by typing or stylus-writing.

ISIS provides a system test-bed for our work in multilingual speech recognition and generation, speaker authentication, language understanding and dialog modeling. This article reports on our new explorations within the context of ISIS, including: (i) adaptivity to knowledge scope expansion; (ii) asynchronous human-computer interaction by task delegation to software agents; (iii) multi-threaded online interaction and offline delegation dialogs with interruptions for task switching.
