A comparison of disfluency distribution in a unimodal and a multimodal speech interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we compare the distribution of disfluencies in two human–computer dialogue corpora. One corpus consists of unimodal travel booking dialogues, which were recorded over the telephone. In this unimodal system, all components except the speech recognition were authentic. The other corpus was collected using a semi-simulated multi-modal dialogue system with an animated talking agent and a clickable map. The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the effects of modality, task and interface design on the distribution and frequency of disfluencies in these two corpora.

Using Weighted Distributions for Modeling Skewed, Multimodal and Truncated Data
When the observations reflect a multimodal, asymmetric or truncated construction or a combination of them, using usual unimodal and symmetric distributions leads to misleading results. Therefore, distributions with ability of modeling skewness, multimodality and truncation have been in the core of interest in statistical literature, always. There are different methods to contract ...

Objective: Stuttering is a speech disorder that occurs with frequent and abnormal disruptions in speech, such as sound repetition, sound prolongation, and sound or airflow blockage. Although various hypotheses and factors have been introduced including cognitive and linguistic factors, the etiology of stuttering has not been fully understood. According to the vicious circle hypothesis, increase...
متن کاملe-PIM: A Conversational Multimodal Interface for a Thin Client
As Third Generation (3G) networks emerge they provide not only higher data transmission rates but also the ability to transmit both voice and low latency data within the same session. This paper describes the successful implementation of a multimodal application (voice and text) that uses natural language understanding combined with a WAP browser to access email messages on a telephone handset....
متن کاملEtiology of user experience with natural language speech
This paper outlines the results of commercial field trial of a multimodal (speech and GUI) platform using natural language technologies in a mobile environment. During the trial we compared the user experience of the multimodal interface to the user experience with a comparable application providing only unimodal (GUI) interaction. A key objective of the analysis following the trial was to unde...
متن کاملOn discrete a-unimodal and a-monotone distributions
Unimodality is one of the building structures of distributions that like skewness, kurtosis and symmetry is visible in the shape of a function. Comparing two different distributions, can be a very difficult task. But if both the distributions are of the same types, for example both are unimodal, for comparison we may just compare the modes, dispersions and skewness. So, the concept of unimodali...
