Analysis of Changes in Dialogue Rhythm Due to Dialogue Acts in Task-Oriented Dialogues

چکیده
We consider that factors such as prosody of systems’ utterances and dialogue rhythm are important to attain a natural human-machine dialogue. However, the relations between dialogue rhythm and speaker’s various states in task-oriented dialogue have been not revealed. In this study, we collected taskoriented dialogues and analyzed the relations between “dialogue structures, kinds of dialogue acts (contents of utterances), Aizuchi (backchannel/acknowledgment), Repeat and interjection” and “dialogue rhythm (response timing, F0, and speech rate)”.

Subjective experiments on influence of response timing in spoken dialogues
To verify the validity of analysis results relating to dialogue rhythm from earlier studies, we produced spoken dialogues based on analysis results relating to response timing and the other spoken dialogues, and performed subjective experiments to investigate parameters such as the naturalness of the dialogue, the incongruity of the synthesized speech, and the ease of comprehension of the utter...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Willingness to Communicate and Two Types of Speaking Task: Narrative and Dialogue
This study attempted to examine the relationship between WTC and two types of speaking tasks:Dialogue and narrative/monologue. The significance of this study lies in its theoreticalcontributions to the WTC construct and the pedagogical implications in second languageteaching and learning. Sixty one intermediate female EFL learners were selected through anOxford Placement Test (OPT) from Tabares...
متن کاملEvaluation of HMM-based Models for the Annotation of Unsegmented Dialogue Turns
Corpus-based dialogue systems rely on statistical models, whose parameters are inferred from annotated dialogues. The dialogues are usually annotated using Dialogue Acts (DA), and the manual annotation is difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, several semiautomatic annotation processes have been proposed to speed-up the process. The standard annotation model is based on Hidden Markov Models (...
متن کاملFrom Acts and Topics to Transactions and Dialogue Smoothness
Measuring transaction success and dialogue smoothness is extremely time consuming and costly when done manually and on many dialogues but is the only possibility today for spoken dialogue systems without a very clear success state. This paper investigates the possibility of automatic derivation of transaction success for task-oriented dialogues based on simple act-topic annotations.
متن کاملCombining Task and Dialogue Streams in Unsupervised Dialogue Act Models
Unsupervised machine learning approaches hold great promise for recognizing dialogue acts, but the performance of these models tends to be much lower than the accuracies reached by supervised models. However, some dialogues, such as task-oriented dialogues with parallel task streams, hold rich information that has not yet been leveraged within unsupervised dialogue act models. This paper invest...
