Incremental Prosody Modelling for Interaction Management in Spoken Dialogue Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Prosody, as manifested in accents and phrasal boundaries, is a recognized and important aspect of human language understanding. Accents are supported by syllables, whereas phrasal boundaries occur between words. The influence of both accents and boundaries on the other hand, extends to surrounding syllables and, in the case of boundaries, preceding words (even as far back as the last accent in the phrase). The manifestation and distribution of accents and boundaries strongly depends on the underlying phoneme and syllable structure and their inherent influences on acoustic prosodic parameters such as pitch, loudness and duration.

A 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...
متن کاملIntegrating prosodic modelling with incremental speech recognition
We describe ongoing and proposed work concerning incremental prosody extraction and classification for a spoken dialogue system. The system described will be tightly integrated with the SDS’s speech recogntion which also works incrementally. The proposed architecture should allow for more control over the user interaction experience, for example allowing more precise and timely end-ofutterance ...
متن کاملModelling Paralinguistic Conversational Interaction Towards social awareness in spoken human-machine dialogue
Parallel with the orthographic streams of words in conversation are multiple layered epiphenomena, short in duration and with a communicative purpose. These paralinguistic events regulate the interaction flow via gaze, gestures and intonation. This thesis focus on how to compute, model, discover and analyze prosody and it’s applications for spoken dialog systems. Specifically it addresses autom...
متن کاملObject-oriented modelling of spoken language dialogue systems
In this paper we show how established object modelling techniques can be used in the creation of spoken dialogue management systems. One of the motivations behind the particular approach adopted here is the observation that, in spoken human-to-human dialogues, certain skillsets and patterns of dialogue evolution are common to many different contexts; other dialogue skills and accompanying real-...
متن کاملA dedicated task-oriented dialogue theory in support of spoken language dialogue systems design
This paper presents steps towards an incremental dialogue theory in support of functional design of successive generations of spoken language dialogue systems. Dialogue functionality theory departs from a simple task taxonomy and develops a systematic set of concepts or dialogue elements and implementation strategies important to dialogue management. Increasingly complex tasks require the intro...
