Measuring Adaptation Between Dialogs

چکیده
The paper proposes two new approaches for measuring adaptation between dialogs. These approaches permit measurement of adaptation both to conversational partner (partner adaptation) and to the local dialog context (recency adaptation), and can be used with different types of feature. We used these measures to study adaptation in the Maptask corpus of spoken dialogs. We show that for syntactic features, recency adaptation is stronger than partner adaptation; however, we find no significant differences for lexical adaptation using these measures.

For example, for...

متن کاملFactors Affecting Speaking-Rate Adaptation in Task-Oriented Dialogs
Dialog systems should be able to automatically determine an appropriate speaking rate for each utterance. In a small corpus of billing support dialogs we identified factors accounting for 18% of the variation in agent speaking rate. Simple adaptation to the user accounts for little, rather it is the dialog state and dialog acts in the local context which seem to matter more. 1
متن کاملSocial Attractiveness in Dialogs
This study investigates how acoustic and lexical properties of spontaneous speech in dialogs affect perceived social attractiveness in terms of speaker likeability, friendliness, competence, and self-confidence. We analyze a database of longer spontaneous dialogs between German female speakers and the mutual ratings that dialog partners assigned to one another after every conversation. Thus the...
