We present ADVISER - an open source dialog system framework for education and research purposes. This system supports multi-domain task-oriented conversations in two languages. It additionally provides a flexible, modular design in which modules can be arbitrarily combined or exchanged - allowing for easy switching between rules-based and neural network based implementations.
Furthermore, ADVISER offers a transparent, user-friendly framework designed for interdisciplinary collaboration: from a flexible back end, allowing easy integration of new feature, to an intuitive graphical user interface supporting non-technical users.
