The Relationship Between User Errors and Perceived Usability of a Spoken Dialogue System
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experiment (N=24) was conducted with a spoken dialogue system (a smart home system), in which the users carried out several tasks with the system and rated its usability. Users’ interactions were analyzed from the perspective of human error research done in human factors and cognitive ergonomics, distinguishing between goal-, concept-, task-, and command-level errors. This paper raises the question of how the interrelationship between errors and usability perceptions should be studied. Preliminary results are presented from correlational and factor-analytical approaches.

Memo: towards automatic usability evaluation of spoken dialogue services by user error simulations
Proper usability evaluations of spoken dialogue systems are costly and cumbersome to carry out. In this paper, we present a new approach for facilitating usability evaluations which is based on user error simulations. The idea is to replace real users with simulations derived from empirical observations of users’ erroneous behavior. The simulated errors must cover both system-driven errors (e.g...

متن کاملAnalysis of communication failures for spoken dialogue systems
Communication failures are typical for interactions with spoken dialogue systems, in particular when dialogues get less structured and less foreseeable. In this paper, we adopt a new classification scheme of communication failures and their consequences and show its usefulness in three respects: (1) For the systematic analysis of data collected in user testing, (2) for the prediction of user-pe...
