The Map Task Dialogue System: A Test-bed for Modelling Human-Like Dialogue
نویسندگان
چکیده
The demonstrator presents a test-bed for collecting data on human–computer dialogue: a fully automated dialogue system that can perform Map Task with a user. In a first step, we have used the test-bed to collect human–computer Map Task dialogue data, and have trained various data-driven models on it for detecting feedback response locations in the user’s speech. One of the trained models has been tested in user interactions and was perceived better in comparison to a system using a random model. The demonstrator will exhibit three versions of the Map Task dialogue system—each using a different trained data-driven model of Response Location Detection.

The Effects of Task Variation on the Accuracy and Complexity of Iranian EFL Learners’ Oral Performance
Task variation is an integrative method aiming at the importance of learner-to-learner interactions in a wide range of learning contexts and fostering authentic use of language and meaningful communication. This study investigated the impact of task variation on the accuracy and complexity of Iranian EFL learners’ oral speech. In so doing, 80 intermediate EFL learners, majoring English at the I...
متن کاملData-driven models for timing feedback responses in a Map Task dialogue system
Traditional dialogue systems use a fixed silence threshold to detect the end of users’ turns. Such a simplistic model can result in system behaviour that is both interruptive and unresponsive, which in turn affects user experience. Various studies have observed that human interlocutors take cues from speaker behaviour, such as intonation, paralanguage, content, and gestures among others, to coo...

متن کاملModelling Variations in Goal-Directed Dialogue
This research investigates human dialogue variations by having simulated agents converse about a simple map navigation task using a computational theory of human dialogue strategies. The theory to be tested is that agents have a variety of strategies which they use in goM-directed dialogue for deciding what information to include, how to present it, how to construct references, and how to handl...
متن کاملA Data-driven Model for Timing Feedback in a Map Task Dialogue System
We present a data-driven model for detecting suitable response locations in the user’s speech. The model has been trained on human–machine dialogue data and implemented and tested in a spoken dialogue system that can perform the Map Task with users. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a dialogue system that uses automatically extracted syntactic, prosodic and contextual features for ...
