[Olympus developers 159]: Re: no_understanding handling

[Antoine Raux]

Hi Nikos,

System behavior on non-understandings is part of the grounding 
mechanisms handled by RavenClaw. You shouldn't need to modify any code 
(except your task specification) but add some config files, etc.
Although I'm not sure if it's 100% up-to-date (or complete), 
http://wiki.speech.cs.cmu.edu/olympus/index.php/Grounding_in_RavenClaw 
should get you started (look at Turn Grounding). You can also check one 
of the example systems (e.g. MeetingLine) since they all have some 
behavior coded for non-understandings (smarter than just waiting).

Hope this helps,
antoine
