Keeping the Initiative: An Empirically-Motivated Approach to Predicting User-Initiated Dialogue Contribution in HCI
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we address the problem of reducing the unpredictability of userinitiated dialogue contributions in humancomputer interaction without explicitly restricting the user’s interactive possibilities. We demonstrate that it is possible to identify conditions under which particular classes of user-initiated contributions will occur and discuss consequences for dialogue system design.

Mixed Initiative in a Spoken Dialogue System
In this paper, we outline a data driven approach to mixed initiative dialogue in acoustic user interfaces to databases. We present the knowledge sources that our dialogue planning algorithm needs: the dialogue model, the dialogue history, and the application description. Further, we discuss how the notions of taking, keeping, giving, and relinquishing the turn are reflected in our approach and ...

The 141 dialogues analyzed were produced from experiments with a variable initiative spoken natural language dialogue system organized around the paradigm of the Missing Axiom Theory for language use. Results about utterance classification into subdialogues, frequency of userinitiated subdialogue tr...

متن کاملBeyond Structured Dialogues: Incorporating Clark’s Models of Language Usage
In this paper, we discuss the use of Clark and Wilkes-Gibbs’ model of collaboration (1986) and Clark and Schaefer’s model of contributions (1989) in using structured models of dialogue. Rather than completely specifying the behavior of a dialogue system by a structured dialogue model, we advocate that the dialogue structure should only specify the behavior of the system with respect to high-lev...
