Automatically measuring lexical and acoustic/prosodic convergence in tutorial dialog corpora
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use language technology to develop corpus measures of lexical and acoustic/prosodic convergence. We show that these measures successfully discriminate randomized from naturally ordered data, and demonstrate both lexical and acoustic/prosodic convergence in our corpus of human/human tutoring dialogs.

Measuring Convergence and Priming in Tutorial Dialog
Experimental research has shown that human users will converge with dialog systems along many dimensions of speech, including those of acoustic/prosodic features and lexical choice. Other results suggest that speech convergence may provide a variety of benefits to spoken dialog systems, such as an improved user model, increased ease of use, improved feelings of intimacy, and increased complianc...
متن کاملDialog Convergence and Learning
In this paper we examine whether the student-to-tutor convergence of lexical and speech features is a useful predictor of learning in a corpus of spoken tutorial dialogs. This possibility is raised by the Interactive Alignment Theory, which suggests a connection between convergence of speech features and the amount of semantic alignment between partners in a dialog. A number of studies have sho...
متن کاملRecognizing student emotions and attitudes on the basis of utterances in spoken tutoring dialogues with both human and computer tutors
While human tutors respond to both what a student says and to how the student says it, most tutorial dialogue systems cannot detect the student emotions and attitudes underlying an utterance. We present an empirical study investigating the feasibility of recognizing student state in two corpora of spoken tutoring dialogues, one with a human tutor, and one with a computer tutor. We first annotat...
متن کاملDetecting certainness in spoken tutorial dialogues
What role does affect play in spoken tutorial systems and is it automatically detectable? We investigated the classification of student certainness in a corpus collected for ITSPOKE, a speech-enabled Intelligent Tutorial System (ITS). Our study suggests that tutors respond to indications of student uncertainty differently from student certainty. Results of machine learning experiments indicate ...
متن کاملSocial Attractiveness in Dialogs
This study investigates how acoustic and lexical properties of spontaneous speech in dialogs affect perceived social attractiveness in terms of speaker likeability, friendliness, competence, and self-confidence. We analyze a database of longer spontaneous dialogs between German female speakers and the mutual ratings that dialog partners assigned to one another after every conversation. Thus the...
