Collaborating on Utterances with a Spoken Dialogue System Using an ISU-based Approach to Incremental Dialogue Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
When dialogue systems, through the use of incremental processing, are not bounded anymore by strict, nonoverlapping turn-taking, a whole range of additional interactional devices becomes available. We explore the use of one such device, trial intonation. We elaborate our approach to dialogue management in incremental systems, based on the Information-State-Update approach, and discuss an implementation in a microdomain that lends itself to the use of immediate feedback, trial intonations and expansions. In an overhearer evaluation, the incremental system was judged as significantly more human-like and reactive than a non-incremental version.

متن کاملRobust Processing of Situated Spoken Dialogue
Spoken dialogue is notoriously hard to process with standard language processing technologies. Dialogue systems must indeed meet two major challenges. First, natural spoken dialogue is replete with disfluent, partial, elided or ungrammatical utterances. Second, speech recognition remains a highly errorprone task, especially for complex, open-ended domains. We present an integrated approach for ...
متن کاملA System Architecture for Spoken Utterance Production in Collaborative Dialogue
This paper presents a system architecture for producing spoken utterances while collaborating with the human dialogue partner in carrying on a spoken dialogue. The system incrementally produces utterances while managing the responses and interruptions from the human dialogue partner that occur in the middle of the system's utterances. The collaborative principles that the system must use in ord...
متن کاملAn Integrated Approach to Robust Processing of Situated Spoken Dialogue
Spoken dialogue is notoriously hard to process with standard NLP technologies. Natural spoken dialogue is replete with disfluent, partial, elided or ungrammatical utterances, all of which are difficult to accommodate in a dialogue system. Furthermore, speech recognition is known to be a highly error-prone task, especially for complex, open-ended domains. The combination of these two problems – ...
