The author proposed the CHATR system of prosody-based unit-selection for concatenative waveform synthesis seven years ago, and now extends this work to incorporate the results of an analysis of five-years of recordings of spontaneous conversational speeech in a wide range of actual...

15 صفحه اولExperimental Evaluation of Bi-directional Multimodal Interaction with Conversational Agents
In the field of intuitive HCI, Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) are being developed mostly with speech input. In this paper, we study whether another input modality leads to a more effective and pleasant “bi-directional” multimodal communication. In a Wizard-of-Oz experiment, adults and children were videotaped while interacting with 2D animated agents within a game application. Each subje...
متن کاملThe Effect of Output-based Task Repetition on EFL Learners’ Speech Act Production
This study investigated the effects of different output-based task repetition conditions on EFL learners’ speech act production. Three intact classes of English-major students constituted three instructional groups: (1) the explicit task-repetition (ETR) group, (2) the implicit task-repetition (ITR) group, and (3) the no-input task repetition (NTR) group. All the three groups engaged in t...
