N.b.: A graphical user interface for annotating spoken dialogue

چکیده
Corpora of transcribed and annotated dialogues are very useful for developing and evaluating the coverage of algorithms for discourse generation and interpretation and dialogue modelling. On the other hand, there is no agreement on the choice of units and conventions for annotating discourse constituents, and the annotation process can be difficult and prone to inconsistencies. This paper presents N.b., a graphical user interface for annotating the discourse structure of spoken dialogue. Different annotation instructions and different theories about discourse interpretation and generation can be easily incorporated in the annotation process without the need of changing the graphical user interface. The instructions and the annotated text are displayed in a clear-cut way, and typing is reduced to a minimum. We describe how to use N.b. for annotating embedded discourse segments and the system’s end-to-end performance in a transcribed dialogue.

Olga - a conversational agent with gestures
The Olga project has developed an animated agent interface for information services. The interface combines a graphical interface, spoken dialogue and an animated 3D ‘human-like’ character for multimodal input and output. The interaction is intelligently managed using techniques derived from spoken dialogue but extended for the graphical modality. The Olga agent is innovative in combining a spo...

We have constructed the discourse component for a multimodal user-interface dialogue system. The larger system acts as a conversational agent engaged in dialogue with the human user. Output originating with the backend application system can take the eventual form of spoken English utterances, printed English text, or changes in the graphical display screen, e.g., appearance, disappearance, mov...

متن کاملVisualization of spoken dialogue systems for demonstration, debugging and tutoring
Graphical elements have been found very useful when spoken dialogue systems are developed and demonstrated. However, most of the spoken dialogue systems are designed for speechonly interaction and are very hard to extent to contain graphical elements. We introduce a general model to visualize speech interfaces. Based on the model we present an implemented visualization framework, and several ex...
