The Dialogue Systems Group is integrated into the Information Technology Insititute at Ulm University. The group has placed its focus on user-friendly human-computer interaction. This includes the development of robust and flexible spoken language dialogue system component technologies, approaches to adaptive and assistive dialogue management as well as evaluation and usability issues.

Two interdisciplinary initiatives form the research framework. The Dialogue Systems Group is a member of the Research Center Automotive Electronics and Information Systems.

The group is also a joint founder of the intersdisciplinary Competence Center Perception and Interactive Technologies.

The aim of the Steinbeis-Research Center Dialogue Systems is to foster technology transfer to industry in the area of speech-based human-computer interaction. The research center offers spoken language dialogue systems technology studies as well as support in component development and quality assessment.
