Designing a Portable Spoken Dialogue System
Spoken dialogue systems enable the construction of complex applications involving extended, meaningful interactions with users. Building an eeective, generic dialogue system requires techniques and expertise from a number of areas such as natural language, computer-human interaction, and information systems. A key challenge is to design a system through which user-friendly applications can be c...
متن کاملPhonetic and phonological characteristics of paralinguistic information in spoken Japanese
Six paralinguistic information types uttered by three subjects were examined. Considerable changes were observed in duration, pitch, vowel formant, and voice quality. These findings require some reconsideration of the problems in the phrase phonology of Japanese like mora-based timing and phrase-initial pitch movement.

متن کاملRepresenting Discourse Information for Spoken Dialogue Generation
Prosody and intonation convey important distinctions of “Information Structure”, marking portions of the utterance as standing in relations to the surrounding discourse such as “theme” and “rheme”, and marking relations of contrast between referring expressions and potential reference sets. The use of default intonation contours in standard “text-to-speech” applications can be quite successful,...
متن کاملOptimising Information Presentation for Spoken Dialogue Systems
We present a novel approach to Information Presentation (IP) in Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDS) using a data-driven statistical optimisation framework for content planning and attribute selection. First we collect data in a Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) experiment and use it to build a supervised model of human behaviour. This forms a baseline for measuring the performance of optimised policies, developed f...
متن کاملConstructing a spoken dialogue corpus for studying paralinguistic information in expressive conversation and analyzing its statistical/acoustic characteristics
The Utsunomiya University (UU) Spoken Dialogue Database for Paralinguistic Information Studies is introduced. The UU Database is especially intended for use in understanding the usage, structure and effect of paralinguistic information in expressive Japanese conversational speech. Paralinguistic information refers to meaningful information, such as emotion or attitude, delivered along with ling...
