Thus spoke the user to the wizard

چکیده
Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) simulations are a popular means for investigating the properties of human-computer interaction. In this paper the findings from a WOZ experiment for evaluating different design options for a spoken dialogue system are presented. In addition to the documentation of the outcomes of this evaluation in terms of standard quantitative measures we also present findings from a more qualitative analysis of the speech data collected throughout this experiment. It is argued that such a combined analysis of all aspects of the human-computer interaction allows for a correct interpretation of the results and their fruitful application in the context of system prototyping.

A Multi-Level Capacity Approach to the Hub and Spoke Network
The existing works considering the flow-based discount factor in the hub and spoke problems, assume that increasing the amount of flow passing through each edge of network continuously decreases the unit flow transportation cost. Although a higher volume of flow allows for using wider links and consequently cheaper transportation, but the unit of flow enjoys more discounts, quite like replacing...
متن کاملDifferences in User Responses to a Wizard-of-Oz versus Automated System
Wizard-of-Oz experimental setup in a dialogue system is commonly used to gather data for informing an automated version of that system. Previous work has exposed dependencies between user behavior towards systems and user belief about whether the system is automated or human-controlled. This work examines whether user behavior changes when user belief is held constant and the system’s operator ...

Early prototyping is important for developing high-quality software. Wizard of Oz (WOZ) techniques are particularly useful for early stage evaluations of applications using Language Technology Components (LTC). However, an effective interface to support the task of the wizard is crucial. While several wizard interfaces have been built to date, most of them were designed for specific experiments...

Prototyping early in the design process is important for the development of high-quality software. Sketches and wireframes are effective artefacts that inform the design of applications based on Graphical User Interfaces. For applications using speech and Language Technologies (LTC) the Wizard of Oz method aims to fullfil this task. In order to support the demanding task of the wizard, however ...
متن کاملReliable hub-and-spoke network design problems under uncertainty through multi-objective programming
HLP (hub location problem) tries to find locations of hub facilities and assignment of nodes to extended facilities. Hubs are facilities to collect, arrange, and distribute commodities in telecommunication networks, cargo delivery systems, etc. Hubs are very crucial and their inaccessibility impresses on network whole levels. In this paper, first, total reliability of the network is defined bas...
