Analysis of User Reactions to Turn-Taking Failures in Spoken Dialogue Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the results of an analysis of user reactions towards system failures in turn-taking in human-computer dialogues. When a system utterance and a user utterance start with a small time difference, the user may stop his/her utterance. In addition, when the user utterance ends soon after the overlap starts, the possibility of the utterance being discontinued is high. Based on this analysis, it is suggested that the degradation in speech recognition performance can be predicted using utterance overlapping information.

Non-humanlike Spoken Dialogue: A Design Perspective
We propose a non-humanlike spoken dialogue design, which consists of two elements: non-humanlike turn-taking and non-humanlike acknowledgment. Two experimental studies are reported in this paper. The first study shows that the proposed non-humanlike spoken dialogue design is effective for reducing speech collisions. It also presents pieces of evidence that show quick humanlike turn-taking is le...
متن کاملFlexible Turn-Taking for Spoken Dialogue Systems
Most of the research on spoken dialogue systems so far has focused either on higher levels of dialogue or on speech understanding. In contrast, the lowlevel interactional aspects of conversation such as turn-taking have been essentially ignored, leading builders of practical systems to resort to simple pause detection-based methods to handle turn-taking. In a preliminary study based on the Let’...
متن کاملPredicting User Reactions to System Error
This paper focuses on the analysis and prediction of so-called aware sites, defined as turns where a user of a spoken dialogue system first becomes aware that the system has made a speech recognition error. We describe statistical comparisons of features of these aware sites in a train timetable spoken dialogue corpus, which reveal significant prosodic differences between such turns, compared w...
متن کاملIncremental Spoken Dialogue Systems: Tools and Data
Strict-turn taking models of dialogue do not accurately model human incremental processing, where users can process partial input and plan partial utterances in parallel. We discuss the current state of the art in incremental systems and propose tools and data required for further advances in the field of Incremental Spoken Dialogue Systems. 1 Incremental Spoken Dialogue Systems For Spoken Dial...
متن کاملHandling rich turn-taking in spoken dialogue systems
This paper discusses how to build a system that can engage in a mixed-initiative human-machine spoken dialogue in which system utterances sometimes overlap with user utterances and vice versa. In the method, a module that incrementally understands user utterances and another module that incrementally generates system utterances work in parallel, and the timing of taking and releasing the dialog...
