In this paper, we present POSTECH Spoken Dialogue System for Electronic Program Guide Information Access (POSSDS-EPG). POSSDS-EPG consists of automatic speech recognizer, spoken language understanding, dialogue manager, system utterance generator, text-to-speech synthesizer, and EPG database manager. Each module is designed and implemented to make an effective and practical spoken dialogue system. In particular, in order to reflect the up-to-date EPG information which is updated frequently and

The automatically generated content database is used by other modules in the system for building their own resources. Evaluations show that our system performs EPG access task in high performance and can be managed with low cost.
