A procedure assistant for astronauts in a functional programming architecture, with step previewing and spoken correction of dialogue moves
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a demonstration of a prototype system aimed at providing support with procedural tasks for astronauts on board the International Space Station. Current functionality includes navigation within the procedure, previewing steps, requesting a list of images or a particular image, recording voice notes and spoken alarms, setting parameters such as audio volume. Dialogue capabilities include handling spoken corrections for an entire dialogue move, reestablishing context in response to a user request, responding to user barge-in, and help on demand. The current system has been partially reimplemented for better efficiency and in response to feedback from astronauts and astronaut training personnel. Added features include visual and spoken step previewing, and spoken correction of dialogue moves. The intention is to introduce the system into astronaut training as a prelude to flight on board the International Space Station.

متن کاملThree-way system-user-expert interactions help you expand the capabilities of an existing spoken dialogue system
Data collection and use is absolutely necessary to contemporary spoken dialogue system research. Yet much of it is done either at the beginning of a project with humanhuman conversation for a particular task, or done with a “frozen” system as an evaluation technique. As system development proceeds, system-user dialogue gets further and further apart from the original human-human dialogues due t...
متن کاملA Concurrent, Distributed, and Incremental Spoken Dialogue Architecture with a First Application to Prosody
Current-day spoken dialogue systems are tedious to interact with (Ward et al. 2005). eir naturalness and (measurable) quality of interaction can be improved through incremental (step-by-step) processing schemes that enable dialogue systems to interact continuously (Baumann 2013). However, incremental models have not yet adequately addressed the challenge of joint decision making and optimizatio...
