چکیده
This paper presents a novel component for spoken dialogue systems, which adds the functionality of adapting the system’s speech output based on the user’s input. The adaptation in done on the phonetic level for adopting the user’s speech characteristics without changing the system’s own voice. An architecture for a spoken dialogue system is introduced, in which this module creates a direct link between the speech recognition and the speech synthesis modules.

متن کاملConcept Type Prediction and Responsive Adaptation in a Dialogue System
Responsive adaptation in spoken dialogue systems involves a change in dialogue system behavior in response to a user or a dialogue situation. In this paper we address responsive adaptation in the automatic speech recognition module of a spoken dialogue system. We hypothesize that information about the content of a user utterance may help improve speech recognition. We use a two-step process to ...
متن کاملPhonetic adaptation in non-native spoken dialogue: Effects of priming and audience design
To be understood, non-native speakers must adapt their speech in order to produce contrasts in their second language (L2) that are not present in their first language (L1). Here we examine mechanisms hypothesized to facilitate such adaptation within spoken dialogue: priming, affiliation, and audience design. In two experiments, Korean non-native speakers of English interacted in a referential c...
