Are we ‘in sync’: Turn-taking in collaborative dialogues
نویسنده
چکیده
We used a corpus of collaborative task oriented dialogues in American English to compare two units of rhythmic structure – pitch accents and syllables – within the coupled oscillator model of rhythmical entrainment in turn-taking proposed in [1]. We found that pitch accents are a slightly better fit than syllables as the unit of rhythmical structure for the model, but we also observed weak support for the model in general. Some turn-taking types were rhythmically more salient than others.

متن کاملVariability and stability in collaborative dialogues: turn-taking and filled pauses
Filled pauses have important and varied functions in turntaking behavior, and better understanding of this relationship opens new ways for improving the quality and naturalness of dialogue systems. We use a corpus of collaborative task oriented dialogues to provide new insights into the relationship between filled pauses and turn-taking based on temporal and acoustic features. We then explore w...

متن کاملImportance-Driven Turn-Bidding for Spoken Dialogue Systems
Current turn-taking approaches for spoken dialogue systems rely on the speaker releasing the turn before the other can take it. This reliance results in restricted interactions that can lead to inefficient dialogues. In this paper we present a model we refer to as Importance-Driven Turn-Bidding that treats turn-taking as a negotiative process. Each conversant bids for the turn based on the impo...
متن کاملSignificance of the Correlation in Turn-taking Dialogues
This piece of work investigates the relation between characters in a play based on turntaking dialogues. As the dialogues are related to each other in the play, numbers of turn-taking are significant of the characters’ relationship and the utterances give indication about the information content of the interaction. In this Manipuri radio play, the sequence of turns taken by the characters conve...
