Feedback and activity in dialogue: signals or symptoms?

چکیده

This paper presents new approaches to modelling both linguistic and non-linguistic feedback during instruction giving in a virtual domain. Our approach enables finegrained investigation of how language and actions are conditioned by task-level and domain-level features of dialogue. In a preliminary study, we examine the interaction between pauses in linguistic and non-linguistic activity. As far as we know, ours is the first analysis of pauses across modalities. In the longer term, we aim to use these techniques as a window on the underlying processes conditioning feedback, and for such applications as the generation of situated forms of listening, such as instruction following.

Navigating joint projects with dialogue

Dialogue has its origins in joint activities, which it serves to coordinate. Joint activities, in turn, usually emerge in hierarchically nested projects and subprojects. We propose that participants use dialogue to coordinate two kinds of transitions in these joint projects: vertical transitions, or entering and exiting joint projects; and horizontal transitions, or continuing within joint proj...

Robot control system using SMR signals detection

One of the important issues in designing a brain-computer interface system is to select the type of mental activity to be imagined. In some of these systems, mental activity varies with user intent and action that must be controlled by the brain-computer system, and in a number of other signals, the received signals contain the same activity-related mental activity that should be performed by t...
