An Empirical Study of Speech Recognition Errors in a Task-Oriented Dialogue System

نویسنده

چکیده

The development of spoken dialogue systems is often limited by the performance of their speech recognition component. The impact of speech recognition errors on dialogue systems is often studied at the global level of task completion. In this paper, we carry an empirical study on the consequences of speech recognition errors on a fully-implemented dialogue prototype, based on a speech acts formalisms. We report the impact of speech recognition errors on speech act identification and discuss how standard control mechanisms can participate to robustness by assisting the user in repairing the consequences of speech recognition errors.

Speech recognition performance and learning in spoken dialogue tutoring

Speech recognition errors have been shown to negatively correlate with user satisfaction in evaluations of task-oriented spoken dialogue systems. In the domain of tutorial dialogue systems, however, where the primary evaluation metric is student learning, there has been little investigation of whether speech recognition errors also negatively correlate with learning. In this paper we examine co...

Exploring Human Error Handling Strategies: Implications for Spoken Dialogue Systems

In this study, the user experience and the consequences of different error handling strategies for spoken dialogue are examined. A modification of the Wizard of Oz method is used, where a speech recogniser is included in the setting. This makes it possible to study how humans handle speech recognition errors before a dialogue system is actually built. The results show that wizards tend not to s...

A Study of Human Dialogue Strategies in the Presence of Speech Recognition Errors

Continuous speech recognition technology has recently matured to the point where it has become feasible to develop spoken dialogue interfaces to computer systems that help people perform tasks in simple domains. ~Vord recognition accuracy for spontaneous dialogue, however, is still a long way from perfect, and any system that uses spoken natural language input has to have some mechanism for dea...
