First Insight into Quality-Adaptive Dialogue

چکیده
While Spoken Dialogue Systems have gained in importance in recent years, most systems applied in the real world are still static and error-prone. To overcome this, the user is put into the focus of dialogue management. Hence, an approach for adapting the course of the dialogue to Interaction Quality, an objective variant of user satisfaction, is presented in this work. In general, rendering the dialogue adaptive to user satisfaction enables the dialogue system to improve the course of the dialogue and to handle problematic situations better. In this contribution, we present a pilot study of quality-adaptive dialogue. By selecting the confirmation strategy based on the current IQ value, the course of the dialogue is adapted in order to improve the overall user experience. In a user experiment comparing three different confirmation strategies in a train booking domain, the adaptive strategy performs successful and is among the two best rated strategies based on the overall user experience.

Towards Quality-Adaptive Spoken Dialogue Management
Information about the quality of a Spoken Dialogue System (SDS) is usually used only for comparing SDSs with each other or manually improving the dialogue strategy. This information, however, provides a means for inherently improving the dialogue performance by adapting the Dialogue Manager during the interaction accordingly. For a quality metric to be suitable, it must suffice certain conditio...
متن کاملQuality-adaptive Spoken Dialogue Initiative Selection And Implications On Reward Modelling
Adapting Spoken Dialogue Systems to the user is supposed to result in more efficient and successful dialogues. In this work, we present an evaluation of a quality-adaptive strategy with a user simulator adapting the dialogue initiative dynamically during the ongoing interaction and show that it outperforms conventional non-adaptive strategies and a random strategy. Furthermore, we indicate a co...
متن کاملThe Inscience of Translation
Drawing on Henri Meschonnic’s notion of an “inscient ethics,” and putting “inscience” into dialogue with the old ideal of a “science” of translation, the article explores the collective socio-affective ecologies that organize and regulate social and professional norms and values of translation below the level of conscious awareness—as the true underlying structure not only of “subjectivity” (so...
متن کاملHow People Talk to Computers, Robots, and Other Artificial Communication Partners
End-to-end evaluations of more conversational dialogue systems with naive users have uncovered severe usability problems that, among other things, result in low task completion rates. First analyses suggest that these problems are related to the system’s dialogue management and turn-taking behavior. This paper starts with a presentation of experimental results, which shed some light on the effe...
متن کاملDialogue Management for User-centered Adaptive Dialogue
A novel approach for introducing adaptivity to user satisfaction into dialogue management is presented in this work. In general, rendering the dialogue adaptive to user satisfaction enables the dialogue system to improve the course of the dialogue or to handle problematic situations better. In this contribution, the theoretical aspects of rendering the dialogue cycle adaptive are outlined. Furt...
