Real Users Behave Weird | Experiences Made Collecting Large Human-machine-dialog Corpora
نویسنده
چکیده
We have built a demonstrator for spoken human{ machine dialogs. The system is capable to answer inquiries about the InterCity train timetable of the Deutsche Bahn. It evolved from the work done in the ESPRIT project Sundial with four participating Eu-ropean countries (cf. 11]). First experiments have already been described in 1]. In this paper we describe our analysis of real user interaction with automated information systems: since performance gures of the automated system are already reported, we concentrate on description of some essential aspects of user behavior.

A Comparison between Dialog Corpora Acquired with Real and Simulated Users
In this paper, we test the applicability of a stochastic user simulation technique to generate dialogs which are similar to real human-machine spoken interactions. To do so, we present a comparison between two corpora employing a comprehensive set of evaluation measures. The first corpus was acquired from real interactions of users with a spoken dialog system, whereas the second was generated b...
متن کاملTowards Interactive Relational Reinforcement Learning of Concepts
We present a framework for the interactive machine learning of denotational concept semantics in communication between humans and artificial agents. The capability of software agents and robots to learn how to communicate verbally with human users is obviously highly useful in several real-world applications. Whereas the large majority of existing approaches to the machine learning of word sens...
متن کاملCollecting Voices from the Cloud
The collection and transcription of speech data is typically an expensive and time-consuming task. Voice over IP and cloud computing are poised to greatly reduce this impediment to research on spoken language interfaces in many domains. This paper documents our efforts to deploy speech-enabled web interfaces to large audiences over the Internet via Amazon Mechanical Turk, an online marketplace ...
متن کاملUtilizing Human-to-Human Conversation Examples for a Multi Domain Chat-Oriented Dialog System
This paper describes the design and evaluation of a method for developing a chat-oriented dialog system by utilizing real human-to-human conversation examples from movie scripts and Twitter conversations. The aim of the proposed method is to build a conversational agent that can interact with users in as natural a fashion as possible, while reducing the time requirement for database design and ...
متن کاملGenerative probabilistic models of goal-directed users in task-oriented dialogs
A longstanding objective of human-computer interaction research is to develop better dialog systems for end users. The subset of user modelling research specifically, aims to provide dialog researchers with models of user behaviour to aid with the design and improvement of dialog systems. Where dialog systems are commercially deployed, they are often to be used by a vast number of users, where ...
