Implementation and Evaluation of Commodity Hardware and Software in an Open World Spoken Dialog Framework

Several published papers describe various frameworks to implement an Open World Dialog system. This research conducts a critical review of one system using commodity hardware and software, independent of the vendor and authors. The results delineate the parts of the system that are implemented via the SDK and identify the components that require development. Furthermore, we estimate the difficulty of implementing each component of the dialog system using the SDKs.
