Abstract
The demo shows a practical application of an open-source research toolkit developed by University of Cambridge. The toolkit (PyDial) supports research on deep reinforcement learning for multi-domain dialogues. The application (CityTalk) is a spoken dialogue system for robots that give information to tourists about local hotels and restaurants. We had a very positive experience using the toolkit, but in a few areas we decided to do things our own way.
