Factors Affecting Speaking-Rate Adaptation in Task-Oriented Dialogs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dialog systems should be able to automatically determine an appropriate speaking rate for each utterance. In a small corpus of billing support dialogs we identified factors accounting for 18% of the variation in agent speaking rate. Simple adaptation to the user accounts for little, rather it is the dialog state and dialog acts in the local context which seem to matter more. 1

Analysing fundamental frequency contours and local speech rate in map task dialogs
The current paper reports the first results from the analysis of task-oriented dialogs using a Fujisaki model-based parameterization of F0 contours, as well as a model of the perceptual local speech rate. Two versions of map task style dialogs were examined: (1) the recordings made during the map task proper, (2) readings from scripts of the original dialogs by the same subjects. The first part...
متن کاملAutomatic User-Adaptive Speaking Rate Selection
Today there are many services which provide information over the phone using a prerecorded or synthesized voice. These voices are invariant in speed. Humans giving information over the telephone, however, tend to adapt the speed of their presentation to suit the needs of the listener. This paper presents a preliminary model of this adaptation. In a corpus of simulated directory assistance dialo...
متن کاملMeasuring Personality Adaptation in Task-Oriented Dialogs
Decades of research on human communication provides substantial evidence that human conversants in dialogue adjust their language to their conversational partner: conversants adapt to particular ways of referring to things (Brennan and Clark, 1996), mimic the partner’s lexical diversity (Coupland et al., 1988) and entrain to their vocabulary choices (Parent and Eskenazi, 2010). For example, for...
متن کاملStandardized ILR-Based and Task-Based Speech-to-Speech MT Evaluation
We present a new method for task-based speechto-speech machine translation evaluation, in which tasks are defined and assessed according to independent published standards, both for the military tasks performed and for the foreign language skill levels used. We analyze task success rates and automatic MT evaluation scores for 220 role-play dialogs. Each role-play team consisted of one native En...
